I have gotten that response numerous times. Right now, I'm on an internship. When I started and told people what school I go to, they instantly responded as if going to a black college was my only option. Honestly, some of them behaved and spoke to me as if I was in a community college. Sometimes I think that "some" people think that HBCUs are equivalent to community colleges in that they accept everybody and academics aren't challenging.

Disney has really animated most of the well known stories and fables. Now, most of their films are original stories. I never really noticed it before, but Disney doesn't make films for and about African-Americans. I don't think that the argument about them losing money is feasible. Families and children of all nationalities love Disney productions. Obviously, they haven't lost money on their minority productions. There really is no excuse.
