[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious why UP is so white?  Is there something historically that made that particular area not welcoming to non-whites?[/quote]

It seems like you already know the answer to this based on how you worded it. But yes, UP had a restrictive covenant that prohibited Blacks from living there not all that long ago.

Why is this relevant?[/quote]

Someone asked. Imo it would be weird to look for houses along the rte 1 corridor or anywhere in the DMV and not want to develop some understanding of how restrictive covenants and other types of segregation shaped the area. Real estate moves slowly so a lot of the “history” is barely in the past. [/quote]

No. You do realize PG County is majority black, right?[/quote]

Currently but it wasn't always so, especially in the towns that were incorporated a long time ago.[/quote]
