White Americans may view diversity and multiculturalism more negatively as the U.S. moves toward becoming a minority-majority nation, UCLA psychologists report.
As part of their study, the researchers divided 98 white Americans from all regions of the country — half male, half female, with an average age of 37 — randomly into two groups. One group was told that whites will no longer be the majority in the U.S. by 2050; in fact, this is likely to be true as soon as 2043, according to some projections. The second group was told that whites would retain their majority status in the U.S. through at least 2050. All participants were then asked a series of questions about their views on diversity.
“Whites feel lukewarm about diversity when they are told that they are about to lose their majority status in the United States for the first time,” said Yuen Huo, UCLA professor of psychology and the study’s senior author.

Is it perhaps because those communities have attributes that people of all races would like? Lower crime, more affluent, better schools, etc.. It has little to do with the racial makeup of the existing residents?

Obviously those are attributes that people prefer. But like the GP asked later on in the comment, why is it that only whites have been able to create such communities?

Because they steal them from the others, in the most non-discriminatory fashion for their victims. For example: think of Gold ManSacks.

America's superficially stable communities are fuelled by inequality, not white skin. It's pretty damn hard to establish stable communities with a foreign empire siphoning off your resources and destabilising your governments.
