Springfield College didn't allow black students until the early 1900's. The first basketball court was built there, in 1891. It wasn't "culturally white." It was "culturally collegiate" and because of racism, black people were disqualified from participating.
Compare with breaking - which was created by black kids living in the Bronx, NY, in public, where no one was legally excluded from participating.
Also, "breaking" is a synonym, or nickname, or shortened version of "breakdancing" or "break dancing" or "break-dancing." They all refer to the same style of dance.
