If the white people that are fleeing are whiny Republicans, then good riddance.
The people most anxious to live in a lily-white neighborhood and send their kids to lily-white schools are... wealthy liberal Democrats.
YES. Look at Arlington.
It didn’t make the naughty list.

That's not necessarily true. Look at Wilson High School in DC.

Study: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0049089X17305422
Abstract:
Scholars have continued to debate the extent to which white flight remains racially motivated or, in contrast, the result of socioeconomic concerns that proxy locations of minority residence. Using 1990–2010 census data, this study contributes to this debate by re-examining white flight in a sample of both poor and middle-class suburban neighborhoods. Findings fail to provide evidence in support of the racial proxy hypothesis. To the contrary, for neighborhoods with a larger non-white presence, white flight is instead more likely in middle-class as opposed to poorer neighborhoods. These results not only confirm the continued salience of race for white flight, but also suggest that racial white flight may be motivated to an even greater extent in middle-class, suburban neighborhoods. Theoretically, these findings point to the decoupling of economic and racial residential integration, as white flight may persist for groups even despite higher levels of socioeconomic attainment.
I agree. This is a nuance that is left out of the original post. We're talking Aspen Hill, not Bethesda.
Interesting. I wonder which neighborhoods they were talking about in Loudoun and Fairfax then.
this includes moving away from Asians... are there places that are predominately Asian/East Indian?

If whites want to live together, so what? I don't care. People can live near whoever they want as far as I'm concerned.
Minorities don't have a right to have a certain number of white people living near them.

There are white people in my Aspen Hill neighborhood. They are part of a diverse neighborhood.
