[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What you’ll find in much of Montgomery County is progressive views on race, sexuality, gender, etc., but a rampant lack of awareness among monied people about the ways their assumptions, attitudes, and choices exacerbate disparities. I’m in SS/TKPK but grew up near the area where you’re considering moving.. In both places there is a smugness about being on the correct side of certain social issues, but a real deficit of knowledge and humility about cultural and socioeconomic differences.[/quote] +1. being progressive can also mean being intolerant of views that differ from yours. In my experience, one sign of an accepting community is to have real diversity (political views, SES, ethnic, gender, etc). The students I've encountered in the area you're looking at aren't what I'd describe as warm or friendly tbh.[/quote]
