Case Study: Indigenous Removal

Question 5 • CA-Ethnic Studies

What best describes the phenomenon of White flight?

Answer
A
As Black populations in the South decreased, White populations also left the region.
B
As Black populations in the North increased, White populations moved North at similar rates.
C
As Black populations in Southern cities decreased, White people moved to urban areas.
D
As Black populations in Northern cities increased, White people moved out to suburban areas.

Explanation

White flight refers to White residents leaving cities as Black residents moved into them, often relocating to nearby suburbs. Thus, as Black populations in Northern cities increased, White people moved out to suburban areas. Choice D describes this pattern; it does not mean White people moved north at the same rate as Black migrants.
