It is very racial. Most gentrified neighborhoods used to be African-American.
I don't think it's a racial issue big picture. Gentrification takes place in areas that have residents on the lower end of the socioeconomic scale.
Now does that end of the scale contain a higher % of African Americans? Yes, well at least in New Orleans where I'm assuming the OP was listening to the conversation.
But gentrification doesn't seek out people of a certain ethnicity, it seeks out areas of a certain socioeconomic status. To me it's not a racial issue, rather a socioeconomic one.

And before they were African American neighborhoods, they were predominately white. What's your point?
And before that they were native American hunting grounds. We should really raze all the development and start regulating spear-hunting permits.

Why has there not been much gentrification in Detroit
Isn't Detroit the posterchild of how NOT to manage an American city?

You're responding to someone that either can't, or refuses to, differentiate.

Tell us what else your professor thinks about it.

A good point, but I don't agree. It is a tradition of Anglo-America to obtain territory from racial minorities. Yes, economics are one motivation, but it seems that the economic motivation is always directed against minorities (tainting the process with racism). Native American displacement had a economic basis, but a much stronger racial basis.
ETA: When have you seen gentrification of a white neighborhood? Never.

I like you, Heather, but you need to get your money back.

You think the hipster shits who gentrified East Nashville and the Bywater did it to spread their anglo-saxon roots on the poor black man?

They complained about white flight. Now, they're complaining about gentrification. Solid logic.
The truth is that most of the people complaining don't even own their houses and they are Sec 8

plenty of white neighborhoods get new things and then property values rise
its just not called gentrification
its just call progress
talk to all the people living in the suburbs of Houston and Dallas and whatnot and see how much property values have risen in the last 10 years

Why is everyone talking about hipsters? Hipsters have nothing to do with this issue. "Hipsters" may move in, but it is wealthy white non-hipsters who do most of the gentrification.
