What are they going to do to the neighbourhoods that are already more than 30% non white? Are they just going to do a district 6 and kick everyone out?
They're doing several things. First they've changed the rules so that undesirable poor or "non-western" people aren't allowed to move into social housing deemed at risk of becoming "ghettos", despite having been on the waiting list for years and being first in line.
They're also doing various things to stress citizens of these areas, regardless of whether the individual is poor or "non-western" or not. Residents of the areas are being treated as second-rate citizens in many regards. For instance they are subject to much harsher control and workfare regimes than usual of they become unemployed, some crimes are punished twice as hard as if they were done anywhere else and parents are only allowed to send their children to non-"ghetto" kindergartens. All of this is presumably meant to better the low-quality residents of these areas.
A more direct way of getting rid of unwanted residents is by urban renewal. It has the added benefit of looking nice to outsiders. You're not being mean to people, you're improving a neighborhood and giving people in social housing good modern apartments. Of course urban renewal means that rents skyrocket and undesirable poors are displaced.
Finally there is the nuclear option that they are reserving for "hard ghettos" (yes, this is an official term used by very serious people in high positions): Getting rid of social housing in the area. Either by demolishing buildings, because presumably the bricks are cursed or something, or by forcing the housing associations who own them to sell them off to private speculants, usually at fire sale prices. The new owner will then be legally entitled (and encouraged) to terminate the leases of tenants, something that would otherwise be highly illegal to do when an apartment building changes owner.
People displaced by urban renewal, demolition or forced sales are offered re-housing in other social housing. Each household receives one offer, take it or leave it. In normal cases it has to be in the same neighborhood but people displaced by the "ghetto law" can be placed anywhere in the same municipality. Usually housing associations will try to find something in the same price range and in a sensible distance from school, work etc. but they are not obliged to and cheap non-"ghetto" social housing in larger cities is in short supply. I've heard enough horror stories about families having their rents doubled to have any faith in the process.
Apartheid but woke™
Nah it's just straight up apartheid.

What the actual fuck
Redlining, baby. We'll just make it financially impossible for them to live there.
