I’m not being a tale bearer. I’m telling you what that person and several others have said.

She smiled and told me Tongans were Lamanites, as were the American Indian, South American Indians and blacks.

And Yes, I did read the BoM. It is actually an interesting read but, of course, we have been hashing out the BoM for a few years here.

When I looked up Laminite I did find it offensive in the context that their physical features were the mark of Cain.

How that is not offensive to anyone I don’t know.

It objectifies people based on their skin color as ones who are less than others.

Heck, for a quick explanation and definition I just went to Wikipedia.

They say pretty much the same thing.

Besides, Polynesians look nothing like American and South American Indians.
