Yes. I always tell white people especially the racist ones around here that white people are very diverse.

I live in the Midwest and have a lot of white friends and families and most of them are very aware of their cultural background. Most of them are Polish, German, Hungarian, Lebanese, Persian/Iranian, Irish, or Italian descent.

Being "white" is also being multi-cultural. Only white people who think "white" is a specific culture IMO don't recognize this.

Whites also are "diverse" from the ability standpoint and via class/income status just like all types of people in this country.

Even in the AA community their is diversity like those from the rural south, and the inner city, west coast, Creole people and Gullah people etc.
That's well and good but put them all in an American prison, along with some Germans, Italians, Dutch, Poles, white Americans, and you will end up with only two cultures.

What has prison got to do with it....

Prison is an alternative reality versus a college campus.

Like I said they tend to be average schools. Just look in the whitest states.
University of Maine- 13% of the school is Unknown either because their international students or they didn't identify as a certain race etc. but 90% of people who do that are white. so the University is essentially 90% White and even if you jsut took the unknown numbers out you would still end up with 90%+ white.
University of West Virginia- 87% White
University of Wisconsin- All of its sub campuses are 90%+ white. But main campus is around 80%.
Again just look up schools in the whitest states.

Vermont
Maine
New Hampshire
West Virginia
Iowa
Idaho
Wyoming
Minnesota

You might have problem with finding 95.3% white or more, but that is because a lot of white kids like to answer as unknown racially,and some of them just group international students in one group.

https://www.forbes.com/colleges/howard-university/
For example Forbes which is more updated states that Howard is only 85.4% Black African and the Asian and White populations have substantially increased to three percent each. But if you assume most of the Unknown people are black you will get 91% black not 95%, and several universities in the above mentioned states have 91% White and higher.

And to many blacks, it equals racism. White girls parading around a university you know damn well they were not going to attend was akin to race-baiting.

Inclusive, Howard University is. Anyone who wants to go to Howard University can go. And according to this article, HBCUs are trying to get more Whites/non-Blacks to attend them.

Officials for the nation’s historically black schools say Roberts’ experience is not that unusual. White students are being actively recruited, and attracting them has become easier for a variety of reasons, including the offer of scholarships and lower tuitions than those paid at non-black schools.
Private, historically black schools cost an average of $10,000 less per year than their traditionally white counterparts, according to the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education.
A better question is this. Why don't more students seek out going to HBCUs?

Well American prison thrives on racially divided gangs. Put them in a Canadian prison and you might end up with this...

Narcissist? Nope.

I'd imagine that today's bunch of students at Howard University stay permanently outraged at something. This is how they were raised to be. i.e. Entitled and deserved of special privileges because they are "victims" of White people.

Just imagine if the historically white founded college of Harvard was over 95% white and that was considered diverse? That's diversity I can get behind.
