	White flight Summary
		White flight was principally a twentieth-century urban phenomenon.
		White flight is a colloquial term for the demographic trend of white people, generally but not always upper and middle class, moving from increasingly and predominantly non-white areas, often from urban cores to nearby suburbs or even to new locales entirely (e.g., from the Rust Belt to the Sun Belt).
		White flight continues today, but it has taken on a new aspect as some of the older suburbs have been experiencing urban decay similar to their parent cities—for example, in some of the "inner-ring" southern and western suburbs of Chicago, such as Harvey and Maywood.

		Arriola's answer is "white flight," a term used when middle-class Anglo-Americans flee urban school districts for the suburbs or send their kids to private schools.
		White flight, Arriola says, is a newer, subtler form of segregation that defeats those historic integration efforts.
		Countywide, 68 percent of white high school students attend schools where their racial group is the majority, compared with 55 percent of Latino and Asian students who do the same.

	The Wall Street Journal Classroom Edition
		Some white Cupertino parents are instead sending their children to private schools or moving them to other, whiter public schools.
		Quite the contrary: Many white parents say they're leaving because the schools are too academically driven and too narrowly invested in subjects such as math and science at the expense of liberal arts and extracurriculars like sports and other personal interests.
		In the 1960s, the term "white flight" emerged to describe the rapid exodus of whites from big cities into the suburbs, a process that often resulted in the economic degradation of the remaining community.

	White Flight
		And many whites felt that moving to all-white suburbs would help them to achieve higher social status among their peers who might look down on them for staying in the city.
		Some historians claim that the movement of white people to the suburbs happened simply because more homes were being built in the suburbs, new highways like the I-10 loop made the suburbs more accessible, and whites, who historically have had higher incomes than African Americans, moved because they could afford to.
		The sources of current problems in the inner city are exceedingly complex and their amelioration calls for imaginative and comprehensive programs of economic and social reform that are in sharp contrast to the current approaches to social policy in America, which are based on short-term political considerations.

	White flight is a fact of British life - Telegraph
		White flight has been a harsh reality since mass immigration started, and it is a measure of our craven shame that it has taken so long for it to be mentioned (cautiously) in public.
		"White flight" is a very strong term to describe the movements of the British white ethnic community.It suggests an almost cowardly surrender and retreat; it carries with it a connotation of fleeing from something horrible, of becoming virtual refugees.
		White Britain is a tragedy, living in the past and harnessed to a class system built on some notion that to be White is to be 'English', to be superior and that immigrants and importees should be eternally grateful to the Whites giving them the privilege of living in Britain.

	White Flight vs Gentrification - Stormfront
		Whites move into these formerly dark neighborhoods, and when they do, the neighborhood changes: nice restaurants and trendy boutiques open up, and inevitably, the rent goes up.
		The professor of an urban politics course I took at U of Florida said that white flight was racist because the white people were depriving urban fls of the tax dollars they needed to support themselves and build their communities.
		White flight has brought a lot of environmental problems, but why blame the white people (except for those who were pushing for the integration)?

		When fls move into a neighborhood and whites move out, that is something visible to the naked eye but there is nothing unique about such "white flight." The phrase is misleading for the same reason that saying white people have toenails would be misleading.
		Blacks as well as whites have objected to having problem people thrust into their midst through housing subsidies or government housing projects being built in their neighborhoods.

		White flight is probably largely caused by simple racism.

	Whites Take Flight on Election Day
		In fact, white Republicans nationally are 25 percentage points more likely on average to vote for the Democratic senatorial candidate when the GOP hopeful is fl, says economist Ebonya Washington of Yale University in a forthcoming article in the Quarterly Journal of Economics.
		White independents are similarly inclined to vote for the white Democrat when there's a fl Republican running, according to her study of congressional and gubernatorial voting patterns between 1982 and 2000, including five Senate races in which the Republican nominee was fl.
		Her analysis suggests that GOP "white flight" in the Maryland Senate race could mean at least an additional 1 or 2 percent of the vote goes to the Democrat, and perhaps more -- but only if the candidate is white.

		The Wall St. Journal is reporting on a new kind of "white flight" from public high schools in the Silicon Valley suburb of Cupertino.
		Quite the contrary: Many white parents say they're leaving because the schools are too academically driven and too narrowly invested in subjects such as math and science at the expense of liberal arts and extracurriculars like sports and other personal interests.
		That cannot be due to death alone so presumably, of the 4,500 whites who left the city, you'd figure most did it in a moving van and not a hearse.

		Back then all white liberals—my parents included—were in agreement about white flight: It was a bad thing, and white people who fled the cities because they didn’t want to live in racially mixed neighborhoods were bigots.
		White flight may be a direct measure of white racism, and gentrification a less direct measure, but it still points to less racism among whites.
		Once starbucks is there, the neighborhood is now acceptable to the kinds of "whites" that would have left in the original "flight" and as costs of living rise to greet these newcomers the economic and ethnic charcter of a neighborhood is lost.

		White parents used "freedom of association" as a means to escape the looming deadline of August 1961 for Atlanta school desegregation.

		However, he objects to the use of the term "white flight" to describe this migration, arguing that doing so dilutes our understanding of what white flight really is, and of the white flight that actually is still occurring, probably on a reduced level, today.

	H-Net Review: Andrew R. Highsmith on White Flight: Atlanta and the Making of Modern Conservatism
		Though white flight to the suburbs may have marked the last gasp of massive resistance, it proved to be a successful strategy for maintaining racial separation and, moreover, an ideological bridge between the segregationists of old and the Sunbelt conservatives of the future.
		And, to be sure, the white flight model simply cannot adequately explain African-American suburbanization, particularly the post-1960s growth of fl suburbanization in Clayton, Fulton, and DeKalb Counties.[5] Nor can Kruse's model of white flight fully explain the zoning and planning strategies that kept elite neighborhoods and suburbs segregated by race and class.
		And though Kruse has neglected non-white suburban migrations, intersuburban migrations, and even key issues, some real and others imagined, that fueled white flight (fear of crime, for instance) his book reminds readers that race, and racial avoidance, were central to the growth of white suburbia (and its political conservatism).
