Remember, this is the same organization that strives to keep leaders
out based on sexual orientation, because they're "not positive role
models." (There was a recent court case in which an Eagle Scout was
told he couldn't lead a group because he was gay. He sued.)

Probably the racist statements in question ARE NOT OFFICIAL positions,
but unofficially endorsed by the organization. Wouldn't surprise me.
