I definitely don't see this as a Southern thing.
Pardon me if I am way off the mark here but if more organizations are making the conscious effort to recruit nonwhites, isn't it a good idea for them to tell their members to quit the "we don't see race" routine (that is a big turnoff to some nonwhites as well as some whites)? I know GLOs technically can't control how members feel and what members say but it does help when members are formally told that intentional efforts to recruit nonwhites means that the members (at large)
do see race, ethnicity, and culture and there's nothing wrong with that when both intent and outcome are positive.
