A picture of white people taking pictures of a Mexican mural that sits on a school with majority Mexican kids whose parents are most likely to move because the presence of whites who aren’t personally invested in the community is usually followed by high rents and higher cost of living.
Thanks to the recent boom in the tech world economy, guess what’s happening in my neighborhood.
Mine as well.
Gentrification people, wake up! It’s real and it’s important. Minority built communities in cities like New York and Chicago are being overtaken by hipsters. Mom n Pop stores and botegas are being pushed out by local art galleries and starbucks. Children of the White Flight generation, who built the suburbs to escape us, are coming back and conquering the communities we built. Modern day Columbuses are riddling us with organic bakeries and high property taxes like the small pox.
*slow clap*
