It will be a problem everywhere. Other regions just hide it better and people overlook the obvious because it makes them feel progressive.

All of these orgs are predominantly (insert race and ethnicity of the founders). There may be a bit more diversity at some chapters outside of the South but it's not enough difference to challenge the predominant racial makeup.

I totally agree. I grew up in the South, was educated in New England, and now I live in New York City. Ironically, I found that race relations are much better in the South than in NYC, in part because there is less segregation based on socioeconomics and national origin.
