^^^ I know.......but I don't want the South to have a bad rep.....it's really fun but you have bad apples wherever you go though
On campus you'll find that there are A LOT of international students, although most are still black, but from a different culture. There definitely aren't too many whites, but there are a few. The statistics are actually about right. There's some indians (from actual India), an asian or two, and some middle eastern students. You definitely get a lot of diversity though just because there's so many different backgrounds coming together in one place and just from my experience, I can say that there is a transfer of cultures for the most part.
Undergrads...maybe like...10 asians....11-12 white people and some "other".
Graduate students? WHOLE NEW BALLPARK. I'd say maybe 70% of Grads are black and the rest have a decent mixup of Asian, Hispanic and Middle-eastern. Whites still are the bottom of the barrel at Howard.

Treue Racism exists everywhere.........
but it is a higher concentration of it here than ANYWHERE else in the US......
me myself I believe we as a whole have been changing that image for years but the slight few dummies that still act upon that make it hard..........
@ anyrate................big whoop..........
The south has a bad rep just like New Yorkers...........
I meant not EVERY city, county, and state in the South is *full* of "Hicks, Rednecks, Skinheads ect" Memphis is predominately black and most of the white and other minorities here are very cool. I was talking about my experiences in other cities though. Some1 told me that the Southern whites have much more "in your face racism" then Northerners, but IDK..... :???: But honestly, I think we have scared most of the non-blacks away from Memphis anyway lol

When you go to a private HBCU, they usually don't have to many non-blacks because they don't have to actively diversify their campus and they usually have like 2% non-blacks. But when you go to a private HBCU, that's when you see a lot of whites like A&T, 13% non-blacks. FSU, 50%.
