Yessss, some people's accounts of the west coast have an awesome way of making people confuse "tokenism" with real cohesion; or confuse seeing browner faces (not tan) in bid day pictures with the issue never coming up.
That's why it is no surprise when people learn
"you can pledge my chapter but we can't be 'friends' or you can't really know me outside of this GLO and campus context" or
"let's get some Hispanic, Asian, and/or Black members...but then let's pretend that we don't notice race and ethnicity and pretend we're in some dumb melting pot...although I wouldn't do this outside of my GLO context."
