Are you speculating or do you have specific examples? It sounds far fetched. Not to mention that whites are not even a majority in many of the wealthy suburbs. Many of Asian and Indian families.

They haven't been legal for decades but yes, it's a real thing that had a massive impact, just like redlining. https://www.mappingprejudice.org/what-are-covenants/

Levittown, PA

St. Louis, MO.

Remember Ferguson? That's a 10 minute drive from the richest neighborhood in StL.

Look up North and South Delmar in St. Louis; the opposite sides of a single street. That's redlining.

Diversity in suburbs is a very recent development. Look at the historical demographics of the suburb you probably live in. It's great that it's changing but suburbs are not a product of seeking to preserve diversity.
