If they haven't been paying attention, the likelihood of them knowing *someone* in their families, communities, etc. in those orgs is high.

That may be true in the US, but to assume that a Canadian student whose parents are immigrants from Nigeria or Ethiopia knows someone in an NPHC is pretty slim to none. I'd say the same for many who are from the Carribean. Please realize that many Canadian blacks in the Toronto area are first or second generation Canadians.
