When it comes to racial makeup, think of many strongly conservative-leaning, professional suburban communities or rural Midwestern towns, i.e. predominately white. For example, when I was a student at Hillsdale (graduated '02), there were probably about 10 African-American students, the majority of which were on the basketball team. If I had to guess, I would say the student body was about 85% to 90% white. Diversity is equally lacking in the surrounding area. According to the 2000 census, Hillsdale County is almost 98% white.
