You are confusing gentrification for ethnic cleansing. Two very different issues. White people aren't being 'ethnically cleansed' or forced out of their homes by evil people who just so happen to have a different skin colour.
In fact, it's more likely that it's the ethnic minorities that are more likely effected by gentrification, not the other way around.
