Mixed-Race Couples 13 Flashcards
Who sparked the idea of racial tipping points in neighborhoods? And what does it mean?
Schelling (1971) sparked these ideas with his notions of racial tipping points. In neighborhoods facing racial transition during the 1960s, white residents tolerated very limited integration before moving out, fuelling so-called ‘white flight’. While some were more tolerant than others, very few whites wanted to live in areas with more than nominal integration (often pegged at 15 or 25% non- white), thus ensuring the inevitable transition of neighborhoods to predominantly black.
