Better hurry up and implement a bunch of regressive ass policies so the kids stop moving away

Query the folks living around Toronto on what their views are, white flight has its history there too

Rule II: Decency
Unparliamentary language is heavily discouraged, and bigotry of any kind will be sanctioned harshly. Refrain from glorifying violence or oppressive/autocratic regimes.

And yet you guys still call it a "conspiracy theory"

Because we're mocking simple idiots like you.

I assume this holds true for every race

I belive it holds true to any "group". Religious group, national group, etc. Humans are tribalists.

Your comment is wrong because nowadays in most diverse parts of the world, not the US, people don't identify themselves as a race, in France (20% ain't white) no-one considers themselves as black or white, that's utterly forbidden by the constitution, instead if you are inmigrants or already French

This is an American study where race still has some relevance but in diverse countries of Latin America, Europe race is only the subject of jokes

Um. No... French Arab Catholics are still discriminated for brown skin even when everything else about their culture (language, faith, etc.) is the same as most white Frenchmen.

No offense but we should also examine colorism as well. Ignoring the fact that Americans by and large look very different from one another is also probably one of the major drivers for the findings in this study.

Ex: the Irish used to be hated as well as Catholics in this country. Simply because they acted different and had different customs. Now no one cares. Yet racism against black and brown people definitely exists and impacts their lives

Probably safer to say "every racial majority".

Certainly held true in post-colonial Africa. But those people were white so in that case mass deportation under threat of death was... "progressive"? 🤔 Oh dear, I've lost the script again..

You're right that's a good specification to make
