The population of Whites, Asians, and Hispanics is rising BECAUSE the population of Blacks is declining. It's a cause and effect relationship. It's the knowledge that Blacks are leaving that gives Whites, Asians, and Hispanics the space and motivation to move into Chicago. There is no scenario in which both rise given the politics, economics, and culture of Chicago.
