"Certainly. Sweeping demographic change is usually unpleasant for natives. White Americans displaced the Cherokee, who themselves displaced the Muscogee and Yuchi, who themselves probably kicked or killed some other sorry tribe off the land. Few people would begrudge the Cherokee for trying to preserve their territory, their people, their culture. Many begrudge white Americans for doing the same.

""I was a junior in high school when we moved to Old Mill Basin, an area just off the Belt Parkway marked by rows of two-story attached homes once inhabited by Jewish, Italian, and Irish folks before white flight and retirement spirited them to places like New Jersey, Long Island, and Florida."
Perceptions of a 'great replacement' describe rapid demographic change in Brooklyn leading to Black residents feeling alienated and increasingly absent from once predominantly Black spaces. Historical population shifts have repeatedly displaced groups, from Native tribes to immigrant European communities, and later to Black Caribbean and African families. A family’s move to Old Mill Basin in the late 1990s illustrates how neighborhoods transformed within a decade. Residents confront a double bind: incoming whites are labeled gentrifiers, departing whites are blamed for white flight, and remaining whites may be accused of racist microaggressions. Immigration and housing shifts drive these tensions.
