I don't know, I go the the Safeway in Adams Morgan, and the people are predominately two types: young upwardly mobile white 22-35 year olds, and poor working class Hispanics (albeit with more age diversity than the white people).
When I've been scouting the suburbs, I've noticed more age diversity (There are actually white people over 40 in the DC area!). Also, if you look on the Post website at the stats for suburban schools in places like Rockville, Gaithersburg, Annandale, Springfield, Silver Spring...you'll find more ethnic diversity among the suburban population than in DC schools.
If you want sameness, hang your hat in northwest DC. It just seems like there is more diversity in the DC suburbs.

It seems like having a condescending, mocking attitude toward people for what they wear makes a person a lesser person.
Mankie made the assertion that it's a clusterf*** of sameness. If that's the picture he was drawing, I think it's more apropos in reverse. If you don't think you'll see more people dressing the same (which was my point, not what they were actually wearing, but that it's more of a uniform -- all the same) in a Safeway in north Arlington than you would in a Safeway in DC (excepting G'town), then I can't argue with you because I just don't know where you been shoppin'.
You'll be in the burbs any minute and won't have to deal with small city folks, anyhow. [/b]
