If you are white, but support diverse communities, Boston loses a lot of points. I wouldn’t pick Boston mostly because I wouldn’t want to raise kids in a place with such thinly veiled racism.

So then between DC and NY I think it's just your preferences and personality. I pick close in suburbs of DC because its the easiest to navigate, decent commute to the city and also large houses with yards. Good public schools but also private options nearby. Lots of families. I also prefer government and politics gossip to entertainment and beauty gossip.

Someone been watching movies from the 1970’s or 1990’s.

Do you know Boston history? Have you lived there?

How are the DC high schools with their 90% minority population any different than Boston’s high schools that are 85% minority?

DC has more violent crime than any other state. 812 per 100,000 people.
Massachusetts had 322 violent crimes per 100,000 people. Boston was listed as 2nd safest city in the country. DC on the other hand has seen crime increased quite a bit with a 36% increase in homicides.

DC and Boston are similar when it comes to size, income, education and population. Boston and all of Massachusetts is safe from groups trying to crush people’s civil rights. It’s virtually 100% democrat and right to choose is safe her.

You ned to be current on this “thinly veiled” racism claim and how it’s different from anywhere else.

NP. I currently live in a suburb of Boston after moving from a different, more diverse, part of the country and some people here definitely come across as a bit racist because the area is so homogenous and people aren't used to interacting with people of other races.

I live in Lexington now, our first home was in Milton, both with plenty of diversity.

Per 2020 Census Data, Lexington is 1.5% Black, 2.3% Hispanic, and 25.4% Asian. Look, I get that you consider that "plenty of diversity" compared to other parts of Massachusetts, but compared to other parts of the country it's really not, which is my point.

Take a look at the statistics for Whitman high school in Bethesda, then go take a walk around Bethesda Row and tell me that is different from Lexington. I'll wait.

The equivalent of Bethesda in MA is Brookline or Newton. Go check them out.

Lexington is also the rough equivalent of Bethesda, but ok, here you go:

Whitman:
https://ww2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/regulatoryaccountability/glance/currentyear/schools/04427.pdf

Black: Less than or equal to 5%
Asian: ~15%
Hispanic: ~10%
White: ~60%

Newton North HS:

https://profiles.doe.mass.edu/profiles/student.aspx?orgcode=02070505&orgtypecode=6

Black: ~5%
Asian: ~15%
Hispanic: ~11%
White: ~60%

Brookline HS:

Black: 7.4% African American
Asian: 16.0%
Hispanic: 12.9%
White: 53.3% White

Lexington HS:

Black: 4%
Asian: ~45%
Hispanic: ~4%
White: ~38%

Your point?

To plug in BCC stats, which show significantly more diversity than just Whitman:

48.3%
White

21.1%
Hispanic

17.0%
Black

6.8%
Asian

6.1%
Two or More Races

That's irrelevant, unless you want to compare BCC with its Boston-area counterpart. Go for it.

You can email them to ask.

Email who? There’s a lot of figures listed and I’m wondering if they include kids who are bussed in or just kids who live there.

I'm sure you can figure it out if you are interested. Call the Newton School Department.

It’s easier if you have elementary school kids and there are PTA activities. Speaking from direct experience.

I can’t speak to NYC.

The DC area is more welcoming, experienced with new comers and there was a specific interest in our neighborhood & school to integrate and welcome new families.

That said, each school, community and neighborhood is different. It also depends on how active the parents are in creating/building and sustaining their own micro communities.

Boston is FULL of highly educated immigrants, so much diversity.

Not blacks

If you are looking for an area with over representation of African Americans you should state so. That’s not diversity.

Boston is as diverse as NYC, one of the most diverse cities in the world.

NP. I currently live in a suburb of Boston after moving from a different, more diverse, part of the country and some people here definitely come across as a bit racist because the area is so homogenous and people aren't used to interacting with people of other races.

I live in Lexington now, our first home was in Milton, both with plenty of diversity.

Per 2020 Census Data, Lexington is 1.5% Black, 2.3% Hispanic, and 25.4% Asian. Look, I get that you consider that "plenty of diversity" compared to other parts of Massachusetts, but compared to other parts of the country it's really not, which is my point.

Take a look at the statistics for Whitman high school in Bethesda, then go take a walk around Bethesda Row and tell me that is different from Lexington. I'll wait.

The equivalent of Bethesda in MA is Brookline or Newton. Go check them out.

Lexington is also the rough equivalent of Bethesda, but ok, here you go:

Whitman:
https://ww2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/regulatoryaccountability/glance/currentyear/schools/04427.pdf

Black: Less than or equal to 5%
Asian: ~15%
Hispanic: ~10%
White: ~60%

Newton North HS:

https://profiles.doe.mass.edu/profiles/student.aspx?orgcode=02070505&orgtypecode=6

Black: ~5%
Asian: ~15%
Hispanic: ~11%
White: ~60%

Brookline HS:

Black: 7.4% African American
Asian: 16.0%
Hispanic: 12.9%
White: 53.3% White

Lexington HS:

Black: 4%
Asian: ~45%
Hispanic: ~4%
White: ~38%

Your point?

You know how big Newton is, I hope??

Here's Newton South High School:

Newton North HS:

https://profiles.doe.mass.edu/profiles/studen...070505&orgtypecode=6

Black: ~3.5%
Asian: ~25%
Hispanic: ~9%
White: ~56%

Comparable to Whitman, Newton North, Lexington, and Brookline.

Do they include the Metco population?

If you are white, but support diverse communities, Boston loses a lot of points. I wouldn’t pick Boston mostly because I wouldn’t want to raise kids in a place with such thinly veiled racism.

So then between DC and NY I think it's just your preferences and personality. I pick close in suburbs of DC because its the easiest to navigate, decent commute to the city and also large houses with yards. Good public schools but also private options nearby. Lots of families. I also prefer government and politics gossip to entertainment and beauty gossip.

Someone been watching movies from the 1970’s or 1990’s.

Do you know Boston history? Have you lived there?

How are the DC high schools with their 90% minority population any different than Boston’s high schools that are 85% minority?

DC has more violent crime than any other state. 812 per 100,000 people.
Massachusetts had 322 violent crimes per 100,000 people. Boston was listed as 2nd safest city in the country. DC on the other hand has seen crime increased quite a bit with a 36% increase in homicides.

DC and Boston are similar when it comes to size, income, education and population. Boston and all of Massachusetts is safe from groups trying to crush people’s civil rights. It’s virtually 100% democrat and right to choose is safe her.

You ned to be current on this “thinly veiled” racism claim and how it’s different from anywhere else.
