If they did, I think a man like Hinckley would've addressed them.
What I wrote has nothing to do with PC and everything to do with getting the global church meaningfully involved in its own administration. I'm not pushing tokenism and I'm not pushing some kind of quota. When the inspiring and useful thoughts of Mormons of many cultures and nationalities are being broadly circulated, we'll all benefit from the additional perspective. You'll see citations from people whose names you might not be able to pronounce popping up in your lesson manual, but you'll love it because what they're saying rings with the truth of the Spirit.
