His close friend group is a Ukrainian, Palestinian , an afghan (who came over as a refugee with only the clothes on his back a few years ago when Biden pulled out) a Somali, Turkish, two jews, 3 random white boys and a random black boy.

I’m Brasilian (Pardo so i don’t look white or black) and I love the diversity of living here. We moved from Arlington and I felt we lived in a bubble there. i also like it here due to the big Brasilian community, makes me less homesick and I have access to comfort foods.

being a foreigner I’ve felt incredibly welcome.

I mean, all those white people must obviously be racist, why else would they live somewhere called LEESburg? You sound like nitwits. Get it together.

Leesburg is name for Francis Lightfoot Lee, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. He also owned a tobacco plantation and enslaved the people who worked on it. Like some other, better-known founding fathers.

Francis Lightfoot Lee (October 14, 1734 – January 11, 1797) was a Founding Father of the United States and a member of the House of Burgesses in the Colony of Virginia.[1] As an active protester regarding issues such as the Stamp Act of 1765, Lee helped move the colony in the direction of independence from Britain. Lee was a delegate to the Virginia Conventions and the Continental Congress. He was a signer of the Declaration of Independence and Articles of Confederation as a representative of Virginia. In addition to his career in politics, Lee owned a tobacco plantation as well as many slaves.[2] He was a member of the Lee family, a prominent Virginian dynasty.

I get that no one wants to be the token black person, but if everyone does that, whole races stay out of certain areas. I actually have a lot of black coworkers in my Loudoun county workplace but they live far away.

It was harder for me than my parents. As a teenager, I just remember the black guys would date the white girls, but the white boys would not date the black girls. In other words, I had no one to date. That really sucked.

I went to Spelman for college and moved to DC when I had a family. I get why families move to these places, but they don't think about the kids and how it will impact them.
