A neighborhood association reviewed demographic trends after a new transit line opened. The share of residents identifying as Vietnamese and Ethiopian increased, while the share identifying as non-Hispanic White decreased. Meeting notes show that longtime residents began referring to the area as "becoming foreign," and local businesses were informally categorized as "ethnic stores" even when they served a broad customer base. Some newcomers reported that their presence was discussed as changing the "character" of the neighborhood, and they were asked repeatedly where they were "really from." The association concludes that shifting ethnic composition interacted with local narratives to produce new boundaries of belonging. Based on the information, which conclusion about community dynamics is most consistent with the report?
