"the enrollment of one Asian student leads to 1.5 white departures on average" "Another simple explanation for white flight could be a direct distaste for interacting with Asian peers. However, this account is not consistent with the fact that white flight is only observed in high-SES school districts, given that high-income and more-educated respondents are less likely (rather than more likely) to express negative attitudes toward Asian Americans on surveys." They claim to "rule out" "direct racial animus", but they don't really back that up with anything. They don't even cite anything supporting their survey claim, they just throw out that comment. But maybe high-SES white people have just learned not to express "negative" attitudes towards racial groups on surveys?
