And I'm saying that your claim that one Latina woman joining a chapter at Alabama makes the system any less racist is akin to someone claiming they have a black friend.
ETA: Whether or not people are consciously racist, the fact is that we tell women rushing at Bama over and over and over again that they have to have recs, meet people in advance, be perfectly primed, etc. That means that the system is not set up for women from different socio-economic or racial backgrounds to have a successful rush. The fact that one or two non-white girls make it through from time to time doesn't change that.
