I definitely agree with you as far as people needing to interact with other races. However, just because you attend a non-HBCU doesn't mean you will necessarily have the opportunity to work with a nice amount of Chinese, Indian, French, Kenyan, and all the many other types of people. Going to a non-HBCU might mean only being around a handful of Black people with an overwhelming amount of white people. So one still may not encounter people outside of Blacks & whites at non-HBCU.

My point about HBCUs, all Black churches and all Black neighborhoods is that they are all just a few hours out of each day. Just a fraction of your life. You still will encounter "others" in the rest of your daily activities (except white people, who can choose to only see other whites at their jobs, neighborhoods, etc. ). I know that I still interacted with a lot of different "races" once I would leave campus for the day.

And as I stated, there are a lot of different nationalities at HBCUs, it's just reverse of predominantly white schools. Instead of mostly whites with a few of everything else, at HBCUs, it's mostly Blacks with a few of everything else.

Soror, you and I are on two different pages and having two separate discussions.
