The bishop's argument shares a common foundation in racism with the arguments that were used by slaveholders to justify enslaving blacks, and with the arguments used to justify affirmative action.

All three share a base assumption that blacks are inherently inferior, and are therefore not able to:

1) fend for themselves in this cold, cruel world, in the case of slavery

2) succeed on their own merits, in the case of affirmative action

3) understand theological concepts, in the case of the Mormon bishop

All three arguments are disgraceful.
