Yes it does matter, and your last comment proves why it matters.

Black panther & Patriot (for example) ARE black characters, there wouldn't be another version of them that fans are waiting to see come back, and even if Steve Rogers returns as Captain America (which he now has in the lastest Avenger issue), it doesn't eliminate the existing characters. Turning Captain America black or Thor into a woman are stunts and stunts don't last. Pushing black, asian and women CHARACTERS is how you can create real, lasting diversity to their line up.
