Yep, it isn't just race or ethnicity because I've never had an aspirant say "...because I'M BLACK...DUH!!!" in an interview. That wouldn't go over well.
At the same time, race and ethnicity of the majority of aspirants and members will always be a big factor. That is a huge compotent of why we were founded, all that we have accomplished, and much of what we continue to do.

Exactly.
And, no, I do not believe that race or ethnicity will ever be UNimportant in America nor do I want the niche that BGLOs and MCGLOs fill to go away. As long as people realize that race or ethnicity don't have to "disappear" for it to no longer have negative implications.
