pam Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 Personally I hate articles that have to bring up a race etc to describe someone. And another thing. I've never considered someone of Mexican descent to be "of color." Midwest LDS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, i think they do it to show that it's changing and we re having more diversity in those notable callings, the church is now getting more "universal"...

FYI: (to clarify in even easier baby steps for some) My post using nationality was, and still is, in direct response to other's (above) observations of projecting a international church. If we feel the need to demonstrate to the world that we are a international church, well... then show it like we did in Desert News, "without the need to identify skin color".

I believe we are now over 50% mark in international (<-----says "international", not race) GAs based on 2019 callings. Boggled in life? Perhaps try re-reading, pausing and digesting first. Methinks some people actually enjoy the attention of being professionally boggled by others. Almost like they relish in pulling out their own hair and thrive on the drama?

At no point did I state, "Mexico = people of color". Those are your words, as well as your twisted interpretation of what I actually said. Hey, Mister Reading Comprehension. I didn't single you out. Tons of people think Mexico = people of color. Like... "The President is so raaayyciiisss he thinks Mexicans are rapists" or "The President did not give sufficient aid to Puerto Rico because he's raaaaayyycciiisss"... and of course, posting born in Mexico and the name Garcia as "clues" to "people of color".
