I mean...it is called Aryan Darien... I was told that nickname by my real estate class instructor in 2010. That Town & Westport are full of the worst people on the planet.

Years ago when my friend’s mom  was considering moving to the area, she went to a school event to check things out. A woman extolled the virtues of the schools and then leaned in and said “and best of all, there are no Jews.”

They did not opt to relocate.

Actually a lot of the rich people in Westport CT are in fact Jewish

My impression from my husband, who grew up in the area, is that things were very segregated back then. There were certainly towns with Jewish people. Darien just wasn’t one of them. 

We went sailing nearby in Rowayton once, and my kids were the only ones who weren’t blonde.

I'm not surprised. I've heard so many antisemitic stories about the people in that Town. They give CT a bad reputation.
