re: Auburn player accused of using racial slur

Auburn has that reputation among black people whether its true or not. I went to many schools in the Birmingham Area and that seems to be the consensus. Its not the place to go if you don't play sports.

I've lived in Bham my whole life and graduated from Auburn. My experience is not the same as yours.

Good point on the historical black colleges. That would be another reason the in state schools would have a lower minority population. I used to cover those colleges in a sales job many years ago. Neat people with cool stories about their respective institutions. I would also expect UAB to hurt minority enrollment at both schools as well.
