A short series of questions for the defenders of the faith (Droopy, Bcspace, etc).
1.What is the definition of racial discrimination?
2.Can separate be equal?
3. Is separate but not equal inherently discriminatory?
4. Is somewhat integrated but not equal inherently discriminatory?
More to following pending answers.

I'll give it a go, just to warm things up:
1. Treating people differently based either in whole or in part upon their race (or lineage--that was for BCSpace).
2. Separate is inherently unequal. See Brown v. Board of Education.
3. Of course, because you are treating people differently based in whole or in part on their race, or lineage.
4. Now you are getting a bit fuzzy, because I don't know what you mean by "somewhat integrated." But if it amounts to treating people differently based in whole or in part on their race, or lineage, then yes, it is inherently discriminatory.
How did I do?

Good answers.
I will await a couple of more.
In the meantime:

1.What is the definition of racial discrimination?
It's in the dictionary somewhere. We usually know it when we see it.
2.Can separate be equal?
It's theoretically possible but seldom occurs in practice.
3. Is separate but not equal inherently discriminatory?
Yes.
4. Is somewhat integrated but not equal inherently discriminatory?
Quit slinging hash about BYU.

Yet the ban (in place since the time of Adam according to official LDS doctrine) wasn't based at all on anyone's race or lineage or ethnicity.

Initially no. For all the posterity, yes.

???
I thought that the ban was based on the lineage of Cain. What is the ban based on?
