THE MORMONS - IT IS MORE CONVENIENT TO BE A BIGOT

MORMONS & RACIAL DISCRIMINATION (U.S.) 
'The tragic irony of the effort to dismiss Mormons as non-white was how hard the faith group worked to recast itself as white in response.'

'Although Mormons accepted people of different racial groups into their fold early on, increased attacks on their racial purity chipped away at the faith's racial self image. With the exception of Native Americans, whom Mormon leaders encouraged their members to marry because they were thought to be another lost tribe of Israel, Mormons slowly shed their inclusive stance throughout the 19th century in favor of a whites-only policy for church leadership.'

Mormons were accused of being nonwhite. Yes, THOSE Mormons.
