They are waking up now as more and more areas are devoid of WASPs to pay the bills and maintain everything; that is why Obama has to farm out the urban livestock to those places that still have populations that can “administer” (read: provide free housing, school, and food for) them. The death spiral of the worst pockets can’t be reversed as there is no tax base left - no homeowners, private employers, etc.; falsely propping them up with non-taxable (non-profit) entities like hospitals and schools doesn’t help.
The Asians and Hispanics replacing the WASPs don’t give a hoot about the “victims of WASP aggression”...
California is actually starting to see push back via its large Asian populations where their kids have to get 100-200 points higher on tests to get into colleges and now suing and legislating against affirmative action because of bias against them due to their higher average merit.
And their response is that it was racist for the whites to leave those areas.
Of course if gentrification of run down areas these folks have let decay occurs, and white folks are persuaded to come back, thats racist too.
