a lotta people think that's the end of racism, when white kids treat black kids as pigmented whites.
which is extremely similar to 'gays against marriage'; we're not the same and we don't want to be.

I really don't see a connection between the analogies in each statement.
True story: When I was an undergrad a 'study-buddy' of mine was a white girl. One night she was studying with me and our mutual guy friend, who is Black.
As we were leaving the architecture building, she turned to us and said "Y'all are like 'white-Black' people." She really thought she was giving us a compliment. We politely told her that she was not.
I do think, however, whites have a tendency to assume that the world is not right until everyone assimilates to their way of thinking and doing things.
Why can't y'all just accept there are differences in the world, and not everyone wants to be
just like you.
Someone mentioned up-thread that the NPHC has been operating just fine the way it has been for just over 100 years, and we are still going strong.
Each org / council has established what ever criteria they felt best for their membership. One is not better than the other - they are just different.
