I'm not going to argue with the past because it's true and unfortunate.

But what I don't like, and distracts from the debate, is that anyone that says they want to live on a quiet SFH street is a racist or "hates the pores". It is antagonizing and just pushes more people away from your cause.

If you want to live in a quiet SFH while benefiting from the amenities of urban or suburban life then yes, you should understand that you're seeking some kind of exclusivity and not everyone will be able to afford that. There are plenty of quieter outlying areas where people can have their larger homes more cheaply, but at the cost of being more isolated and directly dependent on transportation.

There’s a difference between “if you like this policy, you’re a racist” and “this policy has historically harmed people of color”.
