Here is some info on James Augustine Healy, an eventual bishop in Maine, who was of mixed-race ancestry.  He could not attend any southern seminary, but was sent to the Sulpicians first in Montreal, and later in Paris.

He was unable to attend any seminary in the United States. He was also the property of his legally unmarried father.

It could have just as easily because he didn't have enough education for the seminary, or the seminary in Rome he went to had African seminarians, so they figured it would be more cohesive.  
Where I live at least, the catholic schools and churches were segregated until the 1950s.  So a seminary being segregated would make sense too, the problem is that there was no black seminary at the time, as he was the first AA priest.  
Many parts of Europe have a different attitude toward race than the United States.

Actually people have been attesting to Fr. Tolton's holiness since his death.
