That may be your perspective and the academic treatment of gentrification, but it’s use almost entirely seems to have been racial in recent years.

Wealthy black people moving into a neighborhood of other black people, and displacing them, gets no attention. Wealthy POC moving into a poor white neighborhood happens all the time in Atlanta, no mention of gentrification.

The word may having a different meaning in the dictionary, but it’s actual use almost always seems to be racial, and almost always about white people displacing non whites

Something can only be racist and talked about if it happens to select people. /s

If people spoke more in terms of wealth than color, a lot more people would be on board.
