I don't shy away from discussing racial issues but I'm not sure how much the remote possibility of an NPHC/NPC merger is all about race--other than NPHC chapters tend to be predominantly black while NPC groups historically have been predominantly white but change from region to region).
Recruitment styles, housing (yes, I know that a few NPHC chapters are housed), and the NPC's emphasis on women are three much more important factors that make the councils incompatible.
With the NIC, it makes more sense for the men's groups to share one umbrella because there's less emphasis on uniformity in recruitment, among other things, than there is for the NPC.
