==Response==<br />
This change actually first appeared in the 1840 edition, and was probably made by Joseph Smith:<br />
<br />
* {{s|2|Nephi|30|6}} (1830 edition, italics added): "...they shall be a ''white'' and a delightsome people."<br />
* {{s|2|Nephi|30|6}} (1840 edition, italics added): "...they shall be a ''pure'' and a delightsome people."<br />
<br />
The 1837 edition was used for the European editions, which were in turn used as the basis for the 1879 and 1920 editions, so the change was lost until the 1981 (current) edition. This particular correction is part of the changes referred to in the note "About this Edition" printed in the introductory pages:<br />
<br />
"Some minor errors in the text have been perpetuated in past editions of the Book of Mormon. This edition contains corrections that seem appropriate to bring the material into conformity with prepublication manuscripts and early editions edited by the Prophet Joseph Smith."<br />
<br />
It’s doubtful that Joseph Smith had racism in mind when the change was done in 1840 or other similar verses would have been changed as well.<br />
<br />
==Conclusion==<br />
<br />
This change was originally made in the 1840 edition but went unnoticed until the preparation of the 1981 edition. The change is not (as the critics want to portray it) a "recent" change designed to remove a "racist" original.<br />
