EPA was redlined, leading to "white flight" in the mid 20th century. Poor Asians (not the highly educated recent immigrants) were among those causing whites to move out. http://www.paloaltohistory.org/discrimination-in-palo-alto.p....

Yeah, this is what I was going to post in response.

It's not "race-baiting" to accurately acknowledge that white flight happened. Demographic trends show white people moving back to the cities, leaving minorities without a sure place to live or a rooted community to belong to, usually because of the connection of class and mobility.
