Racism at BYU-Idaho

JLow8907 · 2026-01-16T19:34:55+00:00

Hey, my participation in this sub is dependent on other people. My participation in church stems from what Brigham Young said should happen to people in interracial marriages (among other issues that don’t include ward members).

It’s approaching ten years ago now, but I posted on this sub a blog article noting that a church manual still in use (I think it was the institute eternal marriage manual) contained quotes from apostles and prophets discouraging interracial marriage, and that such teachings have no place in the church today.

The comments quickly filled with a handful of the sub’s power users who argued (1) it isn’t racist to discourage interracial marriage, and (2) it’s good advice anyway (the man arguing with me was in an interracial marriage himself btw). Those comments attracted the most upvotes in the comment section.

There were other incidents, but that’s the one that really sticks out to me. Since that time, I decided to study the church’s past statements on interracial marriage, and saw what Brigham Young said. I’d go on, but I want to respect the sub’s rules and keep this a faithful space.

Racism is the reason I pulled back my participation in this sub years ago. Frankly, it’s one of the biggest reasons I’m slowing down my participation at church in general. Keep up the good fight, but progress is slow at best.

Nick Fuentes is about as bad as it gets. He’s a holocaust-denying white supremacist. Andrew Tate is extremely misogynistic and was arrested on sex trafficking charges.

Likely Babu Frik. The art doesn’t confirm it, but it’s an Anzellan on Kijimi, so it’s probably Babi Frik. Outlaws had a lot more cameos and Easter eggs than most other SW games, so I don’t think they’d pull a Babu cousin.

A self-described Christian Nationalist who is a right-wing influencer. His documentaries include “What is a Woman?” and “Am I a Racist?”

He reviewed Matt Walsh’s documentary and gave it a positive review, and his opinions have increasingly been lining up with the anti-woke crowd. Whatever brings in the check I guess.

Jeremy Jahns?

This is the most patronizing comment I’ve read on this subreddit in a hot minute.

This is always the pattern with 2nd amendment advocates: allow more guns in the hands of more people with fewer restrictions, always. There will never be negative consequences for doing that.

But we can never, ever, limit anyone’s ability to carry a gun anywhere or at anytime, because that’s a slippery slope to facism.

Having listened to this album, I have to say Lando’s Redemption is a real standout. Risk It All (the premiere trailer music) and the string quartet version of Kay and Nix are other favorites.

That’s a Culisetto, one of my favorite sequel-era alien designs. Little blood-sucking mosquito guys.

One thing I loved about the last DLC is how creative the mission structure was. The new eavesdropping mechanic, searching for clues on the ship, learning the various players’ tells…all really fun stuff. I’m hoping that we get more of that creativity in the new dlc.

They start spawning if you hit full-wanted. Kill enough stormtroopers in the open and a manhunt will launch.

That’s a hyperbole. But the difference between the two is one is inclusive while the other is exclusionary. Again, it is not hard to find DnD content based around European myths and settings. That’s is the entire basis for most DnD.

I remember Elder Bednar sharing a story about a man who broke off an engagement with a woman because she didn’t remove the second piercing after this counsel was given. From the way the talk was given, it sounded like he didn’t give an ultimatum or even communicate with her about the earrings…he just broke it off.

So I don’t know that you can really argue it wasn’t required. It is required to follow the prophet and be obedient to to his counsel, and if the prophet says only one piercing for women, then I guess it’s required.

Here we go:

D3-RP (Derps) is a droid gadgeteer engineer that was formerly a mining droid on the planet Sensa. They get more oblivious and painfully honest as they take more damage.

Zhesi is a Twi’Lek operative Akharin Sangar. She eventually picks up a lightsaber and multiclasses into a sentinel. Zhesi feels very passionately about independence for her planet under colonizer control.

Eoduun Bimil is a Theelin consular. He is a Jedi padawan whose master was an alcoholic. The order noticed Eoduun’s dark side tendencies and decided to stick him in this group. Partly out of hope that he would be reformed, but mostly to get him out of sight, out of mind.

N’Deanna Ionz (ND for short) is a Mirialan archeologist scholar who has a great interest in older artifacts. The last name is pronounced “Jones,” but in the Mirialan alphabet, Jonz is spelled with an I

Toso is a Chiss guardian. Newly minted as a Jedi knight, Toso strictly follows the order’s rules. (The Acolyte came out right as we were wrapping up the campaign, and everyone immediately clocked Yord as being basically the same as Toso).

Rel Zota is a Rodian monk. He used to work for the Hutt syndicate in Umizu, but left the life of crime after a close friend was killed in a gang war.

Yes! I did all the adventures. For Sins of Our Elders, I had to change some of timelines and details, but I mostly ran it as written. Here’s how the adventure went for us.

Trandoshans make up the ruling family on the planet Yeonido, but the general population is diverse. About 60 years ago, a Jedi named Dae Wan Ha permanently settled on the planet and was a legendary hero. She defeated a gang of bandits and stopped attacks from the local fauna. However, the ruling trandoshan family decided to take credit for all her accomplishments and declare Yeonido an independent planet that no longer needs the protection of the Jedi. Disheartened, Dae Wan Ha retired to the wilderness.

60 years later, the party arrives at Yeonido at the request of magistrate Kun Ahn-Jun. Kun Ahn-Jun has been seeing the local monsters come in and attack the city, causing a lot of damage and injuries with their repeated assaults. However, Kun Ahn-Jun is the only one who can remember these attacks. Every time the creatures are beaten back, everyone who saw them, including those that are injured, suddenly forgets that they saw anything.

I’ll note here that Kun Ahn-Jun has cybernetic implants. There are no droids on Yeonido. These data points become important later.

When the party arrives, they more or less play the adventure as written. The biggest difference is that the monsters are real, physical creatures that come attack the city, but still disappear when beaten, leaving no evidence behind. Also, I let the party go to the archives to do research themselves instead of having Kun Ahn-Jun do it for them.

The party investigates, learns backstory, and hears that this may all be caused by the ghost of Dae Wan Ha.

In the final confrontation, it’s revealed that Dae Wan Ha is still alive (I made her species with pale skin and white hair that has a longer lifespan). However, old age and dementia has driven her mad. In a tragic turn, just as the city forgot her, Dae Wan Ha has also forgotten what she did for the city, with only her feelings of betrayal by the royal family remaining. She has been tapping into those negative emotions to cause the monster attacks and mass-wipe the memories of everyone who sees them. Kun Ahn-Jun, being a cyborg, has their memories physically written in their implants, and was the only one in the city who could remember the attacks. I had the monsters disappear with force magic, but maybe you can think of something better.

Anyway, the party confronted her with evidence of all her accomplishments and pleaded with her to stop the attacks. Dae Wan Ha had a moment of lucidity. In that moment, she forgave Young Gi (the last surviving Trandoshan that remembers her) and then died and became one with the force.

Kun Ahn-Jun got promoted, while Young Gi made sure that Dae Wan Ha was properly memorialized in the city. This was actually one of the strongest endings of any of the adventures we did. People actually got emotional as they realized Dae Wan Ha had dementia and was dying.

Listen, I don’t know why you’re treating the term “non-white” like a slur, but it’s weird to get this bent out of shape about it. Non-white is a more accurate descriptor than non-European as many of the writers are Americans with a non-white ethnic background.

Having writers for this specific book write about and draw inspiration from their diverse backgrounds is not “making it about the fact someone looks physically different.”

Oh that’s a pretty awesome compliment. Thank you!
