the nuance these articles always miss is "supremacy" in term is colloquially taken as "innate superiority" but idpol types mean it as "social preeminence"

What reasons do you have for believing there is net benefit?
-
in which scenario, for integrating or for fleeing?

For integrating. (Fleeing has obvious costs.)

segregation vs integration covers like a quarter of the SAT race gap afaik. fuzzier things like acculturation to white middle class norms also likely but hard to measure

That's not integration. 1) whiter neighborhoods tend to have higher property prices 2) blacks in those areas are richer than average

and of course 3) richer families have better test scores

school districts are drawn for political reasons just like anything else and there are plenty that cover multiple de facto segregated communities

jefferson county alabama right now is convulsing with this, should be a case study for the process
