One of my all time favorite stories is Emergency Skin by N.K. Jemisin. She nails this idea. And, because N.K. Jemisin is a fucking force, it won the Hugo Award for Best Novelette in 2020. It’s shockingly good, please go read it.

There’s an old school Ray Bradbury story where white people make all the blacks emigrate to Mars, and then a couple generations later, white folks come to Mars asking for help bc they fucked up Earth.

it’s called the martian chronicles!! it’s my favorite book ever, a really good read and has a lot of colonization and capitalism and racism commentary, all which still ring true even 60 years later. if you don’t want to read a whole book, it’s set up as little bits-sized vignettes that are all slightly connected but also fun on their own. also mars has wine rivers which is the single goofiest and awesomest sci fi worldbuilding ever
