but like the amount of load bearing the if in "if southern suburb whites racially depolarize" is admittedly insane, and we'd really need to see some canaries first to even slightly consider that Actually Happening™

It’s absolutely happening in GA & NC. GA 2008 vs 2020 Black voters voted the same % & made up the same % of the electorate. There was a little shift bc more Latinos & Asians but also bc white Southern suburbanites are voting more Dem than 15 years ago (in part bc many aren’t from the South)

probably explains the GOP's fear and hate of Woke and DEI, the South is learning real history and that means the White Southerns are getting less racist, probably very slowly but still
