Every organization has bigots and people who are against "outsiders" joining - regardless if they are NIC, NPC, NPHC, NALFO, NAPA, NMGC, etc, etc.
Do you have to work harder to prove yourself as "worthy" as a non-minority in a minority organization? Depends on the chapter. However, from personal experience, people will question your reason for joining a predominatly-Asian/Black/Latino/a organization.
Why? Well, these organizations are designed to serve specific communities unlike NPC/NIC orgs which are not "race/ethnic-specific". It is natural for people to wonder.
However, when deciding whether or not someone is qualified for an organization, race shouldn't matter. What matters is if they are going to uphold your Four Pillars or 5 Point Thrust or whatever the core ideals of each organization are. If they live the mission set out by the Founders, then that is what matters.
