Easy solution: Then don't advertise yourself as that.
Not wanting to formally acknowledge that isn't the same thing as not being predominantly white and not understanding that our organizations are not removed from our histories and membership demographics.

None of us are restricted to "insert group." Just like my prolific and highly acclaimed Sisterhood (and other NPHCs) has so much more going on than "predominantly African American."
