i'd say you're describing something that's pretty obvious on its face.

what's not obvious is this dynamic has been going on for over a century and a half in california and the greater american west in general. the white native reaction was at first the chinese exclusion act, then japanese internment / asset seizure.

the difference is this time the legacy white property owners are cashing out (cashing in?) in a huge way in both sales and rent as asians move in, so you can expect it to continue.

it's white flight, but financially inverted. in other words.... asian gentrification.

It arguably dates back further, with Hispanics rather than Asians
