A new Vice News report covering white students attending historically black colleges and universities has ruffled quite a few feathers. 

In the first episode of "Minority Reports," Vice looks into the life of a white student attending Morehouse College in Atlanta in an attempt to highlight an influx of white students coming to HBCUs. White freshman Tiago told Vice he always dreamt of attending the prestigious HBCU. 

"When I first got here, you know, people said they are going to stop and ask you why you come to Morehouse," he recalled.

For Tiago, he wanted a change of scenery. When he was younger, he went to predominately black and brown schools, but by the time he went to high school, he was attending an affluent white high school. He said telling people about his dream usually meant being ridiculed by his peers. Tiago noted that the people he met while visiting Morehouse made him feel more welcomed than being around people he knew. 

"I'm naturally more gravitated towards the black community than the white community," Tiago said.

As HBCUs struggled to make ends meet, many are turning to white student recruitment to bring in more dollars for their universities. But the move is counterproductive to students and alumni who state white students have always attended HBCUs.  

Twitter users had a few words like many of the people Vice interviewed. Some people couldn't grapple with Vice's need to cover this aspect of the conversation.

White people are doing OK at HBCUs, according to @PrinceLlewellyn. In some cases, HBCUs pay for white students via special scholarships to attend while leaving black students out to dry.
