  Have there been any natural experiments where less-wealthy white folk were priced out by more-wealthy non-white?

Cupertino and Saratoga CA are exactly such experiments.

No, because gentrification involves conversion/upgrade of the properties. The properties themselves are largely unchanged; only the owner demographics have changed.
