There are many well-maintained suburban communities on Long Island which
are predominantly black or hispanic; others, which are predominantly white
middle-class or others that are mostly Jewish or "upscale" (more
professionals including all types of people.)
Is the "all rich" juxtaposition with "middle class" not an oxymoron ?

I don't think so. While most suburban communities on Long Island are
composed of people who have something in common, I don't think "middle class"
and "all rich" are the same thing. I consider myself "middle class" but I'm
surely not "rich" by any stretch of the imagination.
