Discriminatory lending practices that disproportionately impact racial and ethnic minorities, including those of upper socioeconomic status, has been observed, discussed, and studied for over a generation. Therefore, it is no shock that racial and ethnic minorities, including the higher social class, are disproportionately represented in the housing crunch. That doesn't mean that the majority of instances in this context are a result of discriminatory practices.
With that said, I wonder what the larger outcome is going to be with this housing crunch.
