No, Just happen to be that europeans were christians and white people decided to used their racism to segregate from blacks. Pretty sad stuff...

Christianity was started by Jewish people!
There was a long history of religion before religion came to the USA and yes America has a history of racism, discrimatory practices and at one time had slavery and at one time most Protestant churches at least in the Southern US were segregated between Black and white, although this is no longer true.
And in addition entire religious groups such as African Methodist Episcopal (AME) were started for this specific reason. However, in the past, the Roman Catholic church may have been a little more inclusionary relating to race and ethnic background.
I am not sure exactly which religious schools you are speaking about but at one time 1940s early 1950s and earlier all schools including public schools were segregated in most states in US not just religious schools

Sorry, you missed a key point here.
Most colleges until a few decades ago were either all white or primarily all white. It's only in the recent decades that other races were admitted into most schools. Rember Affirmative Action. That was put into most public universities both in the north and south to give people of other races the same opportunities that white people had.
So, no Christianity is NOT a white religion by any means. Just ask Al Sharpton, T.D. Jakes, Creflo Dollar, and many other prominent African American pastors.

the long history of the religion worldwide has included and includes today very many non-whites. without the non-whites there would hardly be any christians. they even have a black cardinal from africa to recriut more blacks and lets not forget the millions of latinos.
So you are way off base with this scenerio.
America may have been mostly white at one time but lets face it, america was one of the last places for christianity to come to. It went everywhere else in the world first and don't forget it started in middle east, a dark region.
some white europeans brought it over here but they were minority so that is why they fled here. not majority.

Racist people are ignorant. That is why most, if not all of them in the South believe in Christianity. Although I would guess in America more than 90% of blacks, and probably more than 95% of mexicans are some form of Christians. Now racial segregation in Colleges is illegal. Sounds like you should have asked this question back in the 50's???

Sounds like bilge water to me. NO, Christians are not white only. If you took the time to read your Bible, you will find that Jesus came from the lineage of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, or Jews. He preached to them first, and then, sent his disciples out to preach to the gentiles, which are None Jews. So, red, yellow, black, white, almond or any other color you can name, fall into that category.
Now, if a college or school or any thing else decides to exclude another race, that is Mans choice not Gods.
Make sure that your future comparisons compare apples to apples.

Deffinatly not. Its for all races thats what makes it wonderful. You shouldn't just look at states or collages to get an oppinion there are many mission groups in different countries. But actions do speak louder than words. Just somebody says they are religious doesn't mean they are. Look at these people as indivuduals to te religion not as a whole.

No Christianity is not a white religion, it is a human religion. For anyone who chooses it. What kind of question is this? Are you serious? . Do you only see white folks in churches. Or maybe that is all you see in your little part of the world. God bless****

Of course not. Christians come in all sorts of colors, age, shape and sizes. I think you have had very limited experiences with the colleges here.

No, there is Christians everywhere in the world that new leader that got shot was a Christian in Lebannon. There is huge followings of Christians in Africa. So they can be any race and in any country.
