^^^^Doubt it. Not saying it's right, but that's how it is. However, I do see the lack of women of color thing changing over the next few years or so as college becomes more accessible to people of color and as people of color begin to make up more of the middle class.

I have no intention to try to derail this thread, but I really do think this statement is utterly ridiculous.

1. College has always been accessible to women / people of color.

2. There are a number of people of color who have been, and are already, part of the middle class.

The veiled meaning that I am reading here is that as more Blacks move up the economic scale, then they will want to join historically White organizations.
