What's worse is you thinking you can speak for minority students

You don't know what anyone besides you is thinking, let alone minority students. Don't try to speak for minority students. Some minority students across institutions feel like social outcasts and express those feelings around those they feel comfortable talking to (hint, they wouldn't necessarily share this information with most white people).

I agree with HawaiiTKE.

As for the diversity at your school, maybe and maybe not. In general, white people tend to express a different opinion of diversity and assume that "diversity efforts" (whatever that means) are much more successful than they are just because there's a diversity logo somewhere and there are a few more brown people here and there. Don't fret, that isn't just about white people. That's typical of majority-minority relations.
