The whitest neighborhood reference was to this 2002 article in the SF Chronicle: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2002/05/24/EB221579.DTL

“It’s also one of the whitest neighborhoods in Berkeley, but that’s another story”

So what’s the story? And why the heck does it even matter?

I was referring to the San Francisco Chronicle article, to which I linked in the post, reporting a census that showed that the Claremont/Elmwood neighborhood had an 86% white population.

I’m curious as to what “whitest” means to you as well.

Tracey,

Where does your husband work? And for those of us who actually love Berkeley as a place not a theme park, describe “whitest” for all of us.
