Maybe. But it is lame to play the "I see some nonwhite faces" and "this chapter is less white than that chapter" games.

This really isn't about certain NPC chapters. This is about NPC as a whole.

There's nothing wrong with race being "an issue" in terms of it being a topic of discussion. The concern is when race is "an issue" in terms of being a problem. NPC sororities have long claimed to coincidentally and accidentally be predominantly white. Adding a lot of nonwhite women and saying "we don't notice your race" is equally as lame and bigoted as excluding nonwhites.
