re: Quick note on BYU fans/Mormons...

As a proud Utahn, statements like these frustrate me. There are nearly 50,000 African Americans living in our great state. Utah is quickly becoming more diverse. My boys play AAU basketball and have several teammates who are African American. My 9th grader's two best friends are black. Hurricane Katrina brought many displaced people from New Orleans to Utah who have enjoyed living along the Wasatch Front and have made this their new home. All the world is welcome here! We love everyone, even though we're a bit peculiar and we are just barely getting the hang of power tools. :)
