The term you're looking for is "racism", and it's been ruining America for a lot longer than a century, and it still is, in fact it's on a resurgence, as we all well know (but some try to deny).

The terms aren’t mutually exclusive

Calling blatant racism "NIMBY" is whitewashing.
And "for a century" is historically incorrect and revisionist, if you were actually talking about racism, which I don't believe you were.
What was the real point you were trying to make? It sounds to me you're offering "NIMBY", which has nothing to do with race, as an alternative theory to counter the parent's point that it's actually racism, which is extremely well documented and not legitimately contested, and has been going on for a lot longer than a century.
Are you literally saying people don't want swimming pools in their back yards? Really??! That's news to me. Or is it actually that they don't want black people in their public swimming pools? That's not what "NIMBY" means, but mutually exclusively exactly what "racism" means.
