The bigotry stuff is very interesting. We don’t really get Mormons in the UK, the only one I know of is one that met and I guess tried to convert my gf at her uni. Weirdly he then added me on FB but not her (I never met the guy). Is that a sexism thing?

Is there much bigotry towards mixed people or non-Anglo/American whites? My gf is half Polish and I’m half Asian, I’m interested to know what opinions that guy might’ve had on it.

Hmm, maybe he tried to reach out to you because he struck out with your gf? They are tenacious proselytizers.

As for non white people, Mormonism is systemically racist. They still have books that discourage their members from marrying outside their race. On an individual level it’s sort of a mixed bag. Some white Mormons are your bog standard chuds, while others are proud to accept everyone, even if that can border on tokenism.
