"Sigh. How do allegedly well-educated, intelligent, open-minded people end up jumping to conclusions like this?"

Who's alleging anything about being well-educated, intelligent or open-minded? Keep your prejudices at the door, thank you.

Seriously though, Boyd suggests "a modern incarnation of white flight". An incendiary accusation! What is "white flight" if not racism? "Oh no, don't get me wrong, I'm not a racist. I just want my kids to grow up in a neighbourhood with people of their own colour." Is she deliberately using that term to court controversy?
