Actually, depending on the circumstances, I might DISagree. If the org is letting a minority through SIMPLY to have that ever-popular token, then I would disagree.
See, what most non-minorites fail to realize is that DIVERSITY in and of itself is not a suitable goal. Diversity only implies a DIFFERENCE...not necessarily a pluralism or a coequality. So when you say that your org. is DIVERSE, to me, that means nothing really. It is just something that looks good on paper.
No one is saying that the guy's family is RIGHT. But don't call it a "double-standard" when you KNOW most of your families, and most white families in general, would feel the SAME way if their child told them they wanted to pledge a BGLO.
