I think that stems from the idea that ‘gentiles’ (non Mormons) are ‘less’ than LDS. The common attitude, at least when I was LDS, was that since the gentiles didn’t have ‘full light and knowledge’ (the LDS gospel) they couldn’t really understand the teachings of the ‘one true church’ so lying, or misleading them (or even cheating them in business) was acceptable.
A few of the hardcore ones, born in the LDS church (BIC), and often older, would even compare lying or cheating non-Mormons to ‘bleeding the beast’ since ‘gentiles’ were part of the Whore of Babylon.
