YES!

Who says transplants *want* to "fit in" here? And fit under your teeny tiny and very filthy microscope? No thanks.

I would say the transplants are happier amongst themselves than the natives could ever be, given the posts here.

Please... the transplants on this board have been absolutely miserable jerks.

Crazy lady, go back to geography class and check the stats about where people are coming from to upgrade Washington DC.

You aren't a washingtonian, so you don't get how lame the transplants are here. That's whats so ultimately annoying - it's all of you. We have transplant-dar. We sniff you out a mile away and I actually feel repelled by your attitudes. They are generally toxic - although I am sure a few of you are actually genuine people. You portray yourselves as the shit, but wait, you also listen to NPR, so now you are a good person in your head and, in your mind, you care about "the poor," but in reality you have nothing to do with anybody except other sheltered, usually privileged, transplants like yourself, or somebody with $$$ or some other advantage to offer you. You are opportunists. Users. Judgers. Hypocrites. You look down on EVERYBODY, yet you ideolize so much, including all of your self-righteous FB posts, but never actually do anything to help or to be one and at peace with everybody. You categorize - "Why do white people do _____, but AA people do _______." "I can't stand when DC natives do _____." blah blah blah. You obsess over the most trifling shit - like Thread: "what type of tampon will be best in a bikini in Mali?" "S/o book to overcome anxiety over 1st year at ___ private." I see all this everyday when I go onto DCUMs. You are the living proof everyday. I should go review the list of top new threads right now.

SPOT.ON.

Neither of those posts is even in the vicinity of "spot on". Almost by definition, any post describing large groups of people with simplistic generalities is going to be a long distance from "spot on". Such posts will be much closer to "mostly wrong".

It's called an opinion and I'm entitled to mine (and to agree with another). YMMV

Let me guess, transplant?

Yep, I'm a transplant though I wouldn't be surprised if I have lived in DC more years than you have, or not too many less. As noted in my post, I'm also a transplant who thinks that saying, "Natives are boring and awful because they live in the past; the past that is not that noteworthy, to begin with" is pretty far from "spot on" and much closer to "mostly wrong". Though, as your post demonstrated, not being boring doesn't mean that some specific natives can't test one's patience.
