The so called "white flight" wasn't so much that minorities were actively bringing crime, but more than more and more opportunities were being given solely to white people to build new communities with government funds so they could build wealth
The building of wealth snowballed, where other communities suffered because increasing populations and a lack of movement options made everything harder
So white communities became richer, schools became better, children became better prepared for the rest of their life--wealth snowballed to where even if you don't mean to prevent minorities from entering your neighborhood now they might not have the built wealth to do so
And as far as employment goes, affirmative action in the workplace hasn't actually lead to much more diversity in the workplace
For the most part, most minorities do find work in minority led or focused businesses rather than traditional employers because they still just don't implement those diversity minded practices
When your quota states you should try to hire X many minorities, that's what companies do--even though affirmative action is a bit more complex than that
But that doesn't mean they bring meaningful change to their workplaces, just the change that is required
The current generation didn't exist 50 years ago, but their parents and grandparents did, and they benefited from the institution. And the institution isn't completely dead
So even if systematic laws aren't in place, that doesn't mean they never existed
But systematic oppressive laws DO still exist, laws that were drafted and put into legislation from those eras DO still exist
It's not a completely different society now that there's a "completely different generation"
Nobody is blaming you for how society was, but if society doesn't change, then there's a reason
