mr space, 'worries' or 'notices' skin color indicates racism?

Being black and noticing lds-inc emphasizes white and blonde might be racism in your view?

Being hispanic and noticing none in the photo is racism to you?

Being Chinese or Navajo and seeing few of our ethnic persuasion is racism to you?

Maybe it is racism that keeps lds-inc from singing Jesus Loves Me: 'Red and yellow, black and white, all are precious in his site" just does not fit with the preoccupation with 'white and delightsome'.

Yep, Racist to even notice this stuff in lds-inc official publications.


You're the most racist person on here, dumbass. Remember how you wanted everyone to remember December 7th, by "nail[ing] a n**?"

There are two rows of people of African descent right behind them.

There are three more rows of people of Hispanic origin behind the people of African descent.

There are Germans, Fins, French, Russians, and Australians all mixed in.

Prove me wrong.

Why are the African and Hispanic girls segregated into their own rows?

So the Church gets criticized when it has a "token ethnic" in a picture and it gets criticized when it doesn't. Neat how that works.

Still, it is better to be inclusive than exclusive, especially given the Church's past exclusionary practices. We need to let ourselves and others know that such exclusions are a thing of the past and realize that such websites reach a diverse audience way outside the Jell-O belt and Scandinavia.
