The ethnic cleansing of New Orleans

I wonder what Quintron and Pussycat make of the ethnic cleansing Naomi Klein identifies in their city after the flood...

Guardian Unlimited | Guardian daily comment | This is turning into the ethnic cleansing of New Orleans:

"New Orleans is already displaying signs of a demographic shift so dramatic that some evacuees describe it as ethnic cleansing. Before the mayor, Ray Nagin, called for a second evacuation, the people streaming back into dry areas were mostly white, while those with no homes to return to are overwhelmingly black. This, we are assured, is not a conspiracy; it is simple geography - a reflection of the fact that wealth in New Orleans buys altitude. That means that the driest areas are the whitest: the French Quarter is 90% white; the Garden District, 89%; Audubon, 86%; neighbouring Jefferson Parish, where people were also allowed to return, 65%."
