It's great that there's de-segregation and I agree with your sentiments. On the flipside there's a backlash, in the form of a knee-jerk anti-gentrification sentiment that rapidly escalates on racial terms. Both politically (community board priorities and attitudes) and on the street - there's a lot of hostility towards newcomers. That one's incredibly complex. What you laud as desegregation, many in Bed Stuy, etc. would call displacement.
