25. I have been there, done that some 30 years ago.
400 black kids on a campus of 25,000 white kids. You can only "dilute" but so much. That's about 1 black student per 63 white students. And ironically, I would rarely hear comments asking "why all the asian kids were sitting together". It's all nonsense.

Alot of the problem is because the majority of the AA community have long since been able to identify with any specific ethnic group. So we are all lumped together. In many cases, African diaspora from the African, South American, and European continents and from the Caribbean seem to have a better time at it because they are immediately identified as "others", with some identifiable ethnic group, just by their accents.
