That isn't what I said. If you have 5 COB spots and the 5 women the chapter likes most and wants to give those bids to are all Black, that's fine - even if the chapter might get looked at funny for it. What I don't agree with is "targeting" Black women for COBs if there are other women the chapter would rather have. When you have numbers issues you don't need to throw accusations of tokenism into the mix. Plus, at some schools COBing is so looked down on that bringing in a Black woman that way would make things harder for her.
