I hope people don't take this the wrong way but as a non American I'm slightly confused why there's a college where everybody seems to be black (also an Asian lady sitting behind the speaker)

I assume it's in a mostly black area but is it a case of no white people applying for this college or the college not accepting any white people? Or maybe I'm just missing the white people

I remember watching bet alot growing up and they would do black college tours. There were some in almost every state if I remember right. I did find it odd but I'm sure theres a good reason 🤷🏻‍♂️
