Gentrification is not something that people do because they're racist. It's also not the sort of thing you can hold one individual responsible for, it's only problematic when it reaches a tipping point. That's why the solution is collective protections, not just expecting people to stay in their "own" neighborhoods and reinforce traditional segregation of housing.No, they're still racist, they're just expressing it systemically instead of in-your-face slurs and shit. Like they'll talk about equality and shit but stil gentrify the shit out of your neighborhood.
And I say this as someone whose home neighborhood was gentrified entirely out of existence. I lived through that, I know what it's like. We bought my childhood home for $11,000 because we couldn't afford anything better, and now it's worth a half million bevause they bulldozed the neighborhood and built a hipster paradise around it.
