It’s no secret people have been fleeing America’s cities for the past three years. According to the Economic Innovation Group, a bipartisan public policy organization, more than two million people left our cities between July 2020 and July 2022. In the year since, the exodus seems to have slowed but continues.
However reluctantly, the media have acknowledged the flight. What they have not acknowledged is its “whiteness.” Yet, “white” it has overwhelmingly been. August Benzow of EIG makes this point — without judgment — in a July 2022 analysis headlined, “Working Age White Americans Exited Large Cities in Far Higher Numbers Than Any Other Group in 2021.” (Italics added.)
