A constant worldview-pervading awareness of Jewishness as an ethnicity is only really widespread in 4 groups of people: particularly ethnic-chauvinist Jews, the hardest-core antisemites, and their victims.

Wishing for more Jews to become much more aware of their ethnicity would be one of those monkey's paw wishes.

Out of interest, are there any other groups where you believe that it would be dangerous for members of that group to be "aware of their ethnicity"? Or is it only Jews?

This is a description, not a prescription. Also do note the adjectives.

I'd say it is universal for any group, but given particular circumstances in the actual state of the world its salience varies widely.
