It reminds me of how they use the term "gated community" to sneak a connotation of privileged white separatism into the story. `

I was thinking they called it that because of the gates.

Then you are quite naive. The reason the loaded term “gated community” is featured in nearly every press account is that it helps them form a narrative. The fact that there’s a front gate isn’t newsworthy otherwise.
