The term "white flight" describes the movement of white populations, predominantly from urban areas to suburban or exurban regions, as a response to increasing racial or ethnic diversity.
Historical Context:
It gained prominence in the United States during the 1950s and 1960s, coinciding with the Civil Rights Movement and the growing social and political pressures surrounding integration and racial equality.
