“Most parents want to do right by their kids, and one way they can do that is to try to live somewhere with better school options,” says Ann Owens, the study’s author and an associate professor at USC’s sociology department. “But as income inequality has increased, higher-income parents have more resources to live where they want to live, while those with lower incomes have less.”
While less pernicious than the racism that led to segregated schools and the “white flight” of the 1970s, the findings lead to a troubling conclusion: that children face greater and growing stratification in neighborhood settings than the whole population of residents. The trend, writes Professor Owens, “has implications for growing inequalities in their future

Here is a web page for the author of the "study." On it, it says---
Her research centers on the causes and consequences of social inequality, with a focus on urban neighborhoods, housing, education, and geographic and social mobility.
Now, I'm no research fellow at the Center on Poverty and Inequality like she is, but I heard tell those gene things do all sorts of amazin' things. Yes sir, pardon me while I use my spittoon, all sorts of amazin' things.
Diversity is a false god.
So sad, income inequality forces people with a tiny concentration of melanin per cubic centimeter of epidermis to live near other people with small concentrations of melanin per cubic centimeter of epidermis, and vice versa which is totally and completely unfair, because the only way, the only way, for any person to be able to have the slightest chance of succeeding is to live in a majority minimized melanin neighborhood, as soon as the majority is lost, it becomes bad and unfair
People want to live amongst their own kind and in their own culture. It’s normal, and that’s why the Left hates it.
If Mendoza’s solution is to encourage the non-white parents to try harder in all aspects of their lives and to help their kids to learn more and have a solid respect for honesty and decency, then I might listen to what she’s saying. If she’s demanding that whites have to commingle with inner city denizens through some kind of forced government quota system to make everyone equally miserable, she’s cordially invited to belly flop off the Golden Gate Bridge.
Most people don’t want to send their kids to schools where feral animals run wild.
Expectations and reality are two different things. The actual numbers of those who graduate college and those who get a Master's or Doctorate are much smaller.
There’s rarely if ever any sort of consideration for a prejudice that most people have and it isn’t racial nor xenophobic. It’s behavioral. And it isn’t illegal under any existing laws against discrimination. It isn’t illegal to wish your children to be removed from an environment where learning itself is considered racist and the subservient and respectful behavior required in the teacher-student relationship is accepted and not thought of as a permanent devotion to the hated and horrible but nonexistent condition of slavery.
There’s nothing illogical nor deprivational with the idea that miscreants and bad actors create chaos and erode the learning experience and thus the results of same. They should be avoided, simple as that, unless you wish your kids to emulate them. Who needs a Harvard professor to create some cockamamie theory as to unequal outcomes or white privilege or residual racism left over from the slavery era?
Liberals are always saying “move forward”. They never practice it if it has the potential to jettison these destructive and counterproductive impulses and thereby remove some class of people from the endless glorification of victimhood. It only reinforces and perpetuates victimhood. But never can they accept the miserable results of their own ideology and forced conformance.
I’m not a racist. I’m a behaviorist. I don’t wish to associate with people looking to victimize me or others out of a sense of their own victimization or for any other reason. I don’t wish to be around bad behavior and the glorification of criminality. I don’t see what’s so hard to understand about that that ever-more-arcane specious theories must be invented by eggheads only interested in their next study grant and utterly unaccountable for and oblivious to their objectively sub-mediocre results.
The article is pablum, and quite naive pablum at that.
LMAO.......
George Washington Carver was mildly crippled, orphaned, fosters, and grew up to invent may things which helped his race and the human race in general.
Middle class white kids whose parents have white-trash culture - although they do not think they do - can move their kids into millionaire dollar houses in neighborhood with good school districts and can end up destroying the culture there.
It is basically about culture. There are a lot of broken homes in the ghetto, but there are a lot of whites who move out and are not developing a better society.

People want to live amongst their own kind and in their own culture.
...
Plain as day to see it on any demographic map.
It is the work of the devil, IMO. People who spout about the wonders of "diversity" are quite simply incapable of rational thought and are actively seeking the destruction of society - all being pushed by worshipers of evil.
No blame to be put towards not “actin’ white.”
No sirree....
True dat.
I see it in my own town.
Word.
Excellent post. You’re absolutely right
