I mean, what if someone wants to call Mormons racists? ETB saying the civil rights movement is evil. Denying blacks the priesthood. GBH recently calling out racism in the church. I've never seen one news release, not one protest, not a single march, etc. Should I then say that Mormons are racist?
Well, if a very visible group of LDS was engaged in racist activities and the rest of the LDS population was primariy engaged in critiqueing those opposed to that activity, one might rightly wonder whether LDS as a group were sympathetic to the racist views.
