Q: Did any of you catch Cheri's discussion about moving to a more culturally diverse area (avoiding living in a mostly caucasion suburb/city)? I believe she pointed out something like, your child has traveled so many miles to relocate for you, why can't you travel a few miles and relocate for him/her?

This idea struck me because my husband and I were just talking earlier that day about possibly moving away from the south (although, truly, you can encounter homogeniety anyway in many places outside the south), as register pointed out in her examples (none of which were about southern states)... The idea, really, was not so much about making a big move to a diverse city like San Francisco or New York, etc., but rather moving to a different neighborhood that had some people that might look like your child (or at least that had some non-whites, I guess). A move to a different neighborhood would literally involve changing houses schools, but not so much changing jobs and become a huge upheaval.
