" racism is only a problem for people who don't have a life outside their own head," Tell that one to Nelson Mandela. I'm sure he'd find it very amusing. "Mosca: As someone who lives in Utah right now, I'd like to know what exactly you meant by that term." Utah is among the whitest states in the nation, and is politically, economically and socially dominated by the whitest major religion in America. I've spent some time there (friends of mine went to school at Utah), and I know for a fact that if you're not white, straight and LDS it's not the most diversity-friendly place in the world. That's what I meant. "Nice to know you've pre-judged a vast majority of mormons, most of whom are more racially sensitive in social situations than you are." Actually, I didn't say anything about the Mormons, but since you bring it up: how many African Americans are members of the LDS? How many hold church offices? And what would you know about my racial sensitivity in social situations? How would you even presume to know what my ethnicity is? And, for the record, I emailed DAZ about this before I posted here, suggesting that they apologize and rephrase the promo material for the products in question. Still no response.
