I've been asking myself the same thing. I attended a PWI (predominately white institution) undergraduate. For my first graduate degree, I attended an HBCU. I can honestly say that my experience at the PWI taught me more about how to deal with the day to day intricacies of subtle and overt racism than being at an HBCU could have ever shown me.
But then, to each his/her own. It takes all kinds to make a world.
