[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think their high school/hometown experience would also play a big role in how a Black or Hispanic student would fit in a university with low URM numbers. My kids are Hispanic, but were involved in ECs with mostly non-Hispanic kids. One is in college now, and their friend group is mostly White kids, with one Black kid and another of South Indian heritage. This is at a medium to large sized state university. Now, had my kid grown up around more Hispanic kids, then they probably would not feel comfortable at a mostly White/Asian LAC. [/quote] The point is not how your kid or the OPs kid "feels". I am sure you and the OP raise your kids to be understanding and friendly to all. The issue is despite this, will the white and Asian kids accept your kid and the OPs kids as friends, roomates, lab mates, romantic partners, etc. It takes two to tango, and to some, black kids are practically invisible.
