>...Maybe the actual point being made is that the nicer neighborhoods are much less available to minorities? This just serves to decenter the discussion from the racial aspect of it. No one legitimately thinks the financial and social standings of the parents don't cascade to the children. In addition, entrance into nicer neighborhoods depends on capital, which by law was denied to minority groups. And should those groups acquire the necessary capital to move into a nicer neighborhood, covenants and redlining ensured that would never happen.
