To me, this statement sums up this whole thread. People are going to join groups, either MCGLO, IFC, NPC, NPHC,etc., that they feel comfortable in. Some people like being around people like themselves (not in a "I'm a card carrying KKK" way) and some people like meeting and being around people of various cultures and diverse backgrounds.
It all boils down to joining a group that you want/wish to belong to and you enjoy and other people respecting/accepting your wish. You may not agree or understand that someone wants to be in a MCGLO, but you respect their decision - just as you want them to respect you.
