White flight refers to the trend in the 1950s and 1960s where white Americans fled urban areas due to racial tensions and the perception of increasing crime rates and declining quality of life in cities. This led to the growth of suburbs and the decline of urban areas. It specifically refers to the movement of white Americans, rather than all Europeans, and it emphasizes the racial aspect of the trend.
