White flight

[kotori]

KM .........
"Interesting, I think, is that "white flight" is often considered segregation and racism when at it's very base it's simply economics."

Since most poor are minorities, your argument is disingenerious.

I don't think KM is disingenuous, all racism is at it's heart based in economics. If not directly, then indirectly. No matter how poor a member of the majority racial or ethnic group is, they can always say, "yeah, but at least I'm not 'one of them.'" I'm with peachykeen--I'd much rather live in the city with all it's diverse life. Jersey City is the kickassingest.
