I am a white liberal suburban-dweller. I don't know where Ani lives, but here in Maryland they are building subdivisions at an alarming rate. However, the people renting or buying these homes in our area are ethnically diverse. They choose to live there for several reasons. The houses are cheaper than those in low-crime areas in Washington. Many jobs are located in the suburbs. The school systems are generally better than the the city's. Living is somewhat less stressful outside of the city limits.

Bulldozers are in the country around DC because of the difference in the quality of life and the availability of land, not because of racism. Racist flight doesn't work when your new neighbors are more likely to be ethnically diverse than not.

I don't watch television. Things may be different where Ani lives. Act locally. Make music and friends. Regards, fortunato
