Even though 97 percent of the student body is African-American, we are a diverse and eclectic group of people who come from different parts of the country and the world. We all hold unique and extraordinary experiences.

Im just curious, according to the author, an all black school is plenty diverse and a great place for an education? Why is it that mostly-white schools are considered so horribly undiverse that we need to use mandated systematic racial discrimination in order to get less whites? Is the author implying that blacks are superior to whites and that an all black school is fine, but an all white school isn't?

Perhaps this is the first in a series of minorities to recognize that diversity has nothing to do with color. Maybe he now realizes that you can’t pronounce a group “diverse” just by looking at a picture. I hope that he now sees that it is about differences in opinion, experience, and culture.
