[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess this thread is really only aimed at white people, since it's bizarre to me to think that you can't get exposure to "ethnic food" or "diverse people" in the suburbs.

-- Indian-American who grew up in the suburbs as did most of the Indian-Americans I know from around the country. Also one who typically went to the Maryland suburb[b]s[/b] of DC is she wanted "ethnic food".[/quote]

How long was the drive for each suburb and at what age were you able to do the trek on your own?

There is a Mexican grocery, a Polish deli, an Albanian grocery and a Russian grocery within 3 blocks from my home. Not to mention various takeout places.   This is part of my kids' lives, not "exposure".   [/quote]

In DC!!  where?? the MD part of tacoma park doesn't count. I think this s true in Chicago, where we live now but when i live din DC in 2016, i had to schlep out to the suburbs to go to a minuscule patel brothers and really schlep to get to the korean grocery. I dont believe you. and Vacce is not a real italian stop/deli its a threadbare lifeline.  Here i have to go far out to the suburbs to get to the Japanese market but everything else is in the city and i know teh same is true of NYC. DC is not the same. [/quote]
