By this I mean there isn't only a push away coming from NPC (whether real or only perceived), but also a pull away coming from NPHC, other African-American-centered groups, or the community as a whole.
I think there is a similar phenomenon with most minority groups, in that a major factor in low numbers of minority women is the fear of isolating one's self from that community. While they may or may not feel like they have to "act white" to fit in with an NPC group, others likely perceive them as doing so just because they joined the group, not because of the way they actually act and feel towards their ethnic/cultural group.
