And to state "a man like Hinckley would've addressed them," is not an argument. He's not a polyglot and served his mission in England, so he may not be sensitive to that issue, no mattter how a good a man he is. I'm certain there are a myriad of other culturally-related issues which our leaders ignore out of ignorance, not out of good sentiments.

Have you not read Hinckley's biography? He has TONS of intimate experience with organizing the church outside the US, especially in Asia. There is no church leader that is more well-traveled and met with more peoples than President Hinckley.
