  Have there been any natural experiments where less-wealthy white folk were priced out by more-wealthy non-white?

Cupertino and Saratoga CA are exactly such experiments.

I had an urgent Amazon order for a replacement laptop for which delivery was promised by December 11th. They claimed it was delivered and signed for after 10PM, when the entire building was closed, unattended, and inaccessible.

That was December 11 2017. It never did arrive.

That's fine, when it never becomes the all-purpose go-to pacifier.

  They should also work on a visa system for seasonal (low-skill) workers

That's what H-2[AB] visas are for.

  Only raw performance should matter, because anything else is discriminatory.

There go the disabled, English learners, and all others with an initial disadvantage. Go Team Darwin!
