Well the school doesn't have many black people, thats been in the news I imagine everyone's heard about that over the years...however Athens has plenty of black people, at least from what I see. As for the law school, I think its something like 30 percent minority, its pretty diverse. By the way, a simple lack of black people does not keep an area from being "diverse"...

Looked it up for you:
http://www.law.uga.edu/news/archives...ngclasspr.html
Class of 2009: total of 232 students:"
Just over one-quarter (25.4 percent) of the entering class indicated they are members of a minority group, making this class among the most diverse in law school history. Of the 59 minority students enrolled in the Class of 2009, 37 are African Americans."

And the rest of your comment, for the most part, I agree with.

I think one quarter is pretty diverse, but then again I'm just one of the 173 whities.

Yes, UGA's law school is diverse--just like when HBCU graduate schools are filled with nonblacks. In such instances the graduate applicants are not representative of the larger university or its surroundings.

Not having black people doesn't make a place not ethnically diverse if there is a representation of other racial and ethnic minority groups. However, in North America people think in terms of black and white (and Hispanic). If the largest (Hispanic) and second largest (Black) minority groups in America aren't substantially represented on certain campuses, of course the place will be viewed as not racially and ethnically diverse.

But its important to note that just because a place is overwhelmingly white does not make it homogeneous. White people are from a lot of different backgrounds obviously, we're all just lumped into a single category.
