There are no schools CREATED for white students, so I don't believe we should refer to them as such.
This is just a very mild reply to that statement --only posted to educate...
If you look back into the late 50's-early 60's, you would see that it took the SUPREME Court to MAKE the "prodominately" white schools even except blacks, or any other color for that matter (let us not forget the fact that even when the schools were integrated, blacks still couldn't live, eat or participate in any GLO activities on campus- but that's a whole other bag of snakes). So in essence the majority of every institution in this country were "made" for white people even down to the Constitution of the United States - why do you think some of the articles were amended? That's not just opinion, it's fact. One of the reasons why these "prodominately black" institutions were indeed constucted in the first place was so that black people could have the opportunity to be able to have a higher education, get a life insurance policy with lower rates, be able to participate in greek life, live in a friendly environment, be able to live and eat on campus... the list goes on and on. People naively think that blacks were always equal and intitled to all of these things, but in actuality they weren't. Now times are a little different (thank God) but still the history of this country's treatment towards blacks (and let's not forget the other cultures that Uncle Sam screwed over) is still too horrendous to just be forgotten about. So when you say that there weren't or aren't any "white" schools, you are sadly mistaken when the truth is that "white" people were the only ones intitled to go to those institutions.
