[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There has been academic work done on the "tipping point" for white people to feel that a neighborhood is "too Black/brown" and it is startlingly low. The first wave of white people will leave if a neighborhood is just 5% white [[i]do you mean 5% non-white?[/i]], and most white people will choose to leave at a tipping point of about 11%. I would expect that can be extrapolated to schools as well, which means that white tolerance for Black/brown classmates is significantly lower than the share of Black/brown folks in the country. [/quote] Source? Also, how does this claim translate to DC, where hardly any neighborhoods are 90% white? If what you're claiming is true, then DC should be suffering massive white flight. Instead, what we see is white gentrifiers flocking to move into "black" neighborhoods. The facts around us don't seem to square with your claim.[/quote]
