White yuppies are not looking to work for USPS or DC Metro or UPS or in HR, you can't afford to live in NW DC or any "acceptable" neighborhood with those jobs.

And, of course, there's only two categories of folks living in DC: AA and white yuppies. Latinos, Asians, and poor whites don't exist. Wow, sometimes DC provincials are truly scary.

Well there are Latinos at the USPS, I've never seen an Asian bus driver, I doubt that's even acceptable to do as a job.

There are no poor whites in DC in any zip. There are some in MD/VA.
Try again.

There are poor people in every city in America and you know that. Stop acting dumb.

+1.

And there's also poor Latinos, and poor Asians, and poor...

But PP doesn't know, or doesn't care. Everyone in the city is either AA, or a white yuppie.

Thank God AAs are already losing their monopoly power in the city.

So you got an answers or not?
Where are the poor white people? The true uneducated, on welfare white folks?

They live in the Upper North east part of MD. And around Baltimore- Dundalk area.

I previously stated that poor whites live in MD.
I'm asking where true poor whites live INSIDE DC. Not MD.
Not the college kids but true poor whites.

They won't have answers because they've been backed into a position they can't genuinely defend. I'm black, grew up in the projects of DC and seeing a white person in similar circumstances was EXTREMELY rare. This still applies today.

Congratulations, black people. You have the monopoly of poor folks in the city, and are rightly proud about it. I commend you for your continued efforts at ensuring your children retain such privileged position in the projects, if not in jail or in the mental health system.

Why does stating facts make you so defensive? Instead of posting asinine crap, would you care to tell us where poor whites are in the Metro DC area? Do you have an answer? Are you totally ignorant of how black people CAME to live in DC?

WTF would want the monopoly on being poor anywhere? You sound like a dumbass.

Dude, go get a brain upgrade. You are obsessed trying to make the point that in DC there's only blacks and "white yuppies."

Look, this is the latest data, as of 2013, of who lives in the city:
- 49% is Black
- 36% is White
- 10% is Hispanic
- 4% is Asian

Please share your fascinating evidence showing how 51% of non-blacks are all "white yuppies."

Your stupidity blinds you.

What does showing the racial breakdown of DC have to do with the income disparity? What an idiot.

Good ol' boy network

Whites don't want to work for a minority

Better connections

They think they deserve it because they're white

Idiotic post - plenty of GS-15 and SES HR folks alongside GS-15 and SES Legal folks in my neighborhood living in reasonable 800-1.2 m houses....

Idiotic is the word, indeed

^^I agree with that poster. There may be poor whites in DC but there aren't a lot of them. Especially when you look at areas down south and WV where there are lots of poor white people and huge areas of poor white neighborhoods.

As for HR jobs, there is nothing wrong with working in HR. I have a degree in Math but I worked a short stint in HR and I really loved it. I can only speak for where I worked but I found the job to be a lot of fun and definitely great for those who thrive on people interaction. It's really a job that attracts a lot of women moreso than a particular race.

My company's HR dept is very diverse but there are zero straight white men. When I was in college a decade ago, the HR majors were mostly white girls looking to get an Mrs. Degree.

Why are there so many white lawyers in DC?

Even when DC was majority black most of the top earners here are white. (Still are) 90% of NW DC and in all the new gentrified areas are non people of color.

What are you missing mentally that you can't equate the lacking educational system to vocational outcomes?

Who do you think is attending the public schools most DC urban mom members avoid? Do those schools have good science and math programs......
Historically HR was that department that minority hires were recruited for so that they could appear diverse. Once in that area it's pretty dead end career wise.

Why are so many white people in executive positions?

Hmm....

Exactly. Plus HR is largely administrative in nature.
