Most gentrification is the result of "outsiders".

You're right, of course, but the irony of my example is that I am not an outsider, but I was immediately perceived as one because I was suggesting something relatively radical. Until I saw Michael Cummings' remarks, I had assumed this reaction was garden variety fear of change, but I think he is correct that there is an element of xenophobia to it as well.
