Question: Do Historically Black colleges and universities have Affirmative Action programs to take more non-Blacks?
Let's say someone like me (of South Asian descent) or a White person applied to such a school (like Howard University or Xavier University in New Orleans). Would we technically have a better shot at getting in because of our race?

Yes, I am surprised you are not aware of this. Jackson State even recruits white golfers from South Africa and they accept the scholarships. Any HBCU wants more non-black students. Tougaloo College in Jackson is a very respected school which seeks out white/Hispanic/Asian/Middle Eastern students by offering academic scholarships and other breaks. On their campuses, you qualify as a minority. So in New Orleans, Dillard and Xavier are in the game. SUNO of course is a waste of time.
