I didn't say she was criticizing NPC organizations for lack of diversity.

I took it from those statements to mean that this talk of diversity had gone beyond collegiate organizations and that that larger issue was ethnicity/racial/diversity in general.

As long as predominantly white organizations keep pretending that race is not intentionally and/or unintentionally part of their foundation and general makeup, there will be no diversity. That is fine if there is no diversity but you (in general) cannot then pretend that race is not part of your foundation and general makeup. Keep pretending your demographic makeup is mere coincidence, and keep pretending that whiteness is invisible and race neutral and only nonwhite organizations are founded or rooted in race and ethnicity, and you will keep running in circles regarding "diversity."

Is this not criticism of white groups in general? Please correct me if I had failed to comprehend your intended meaning.
