I think you're taking the least probable scenario to defend institutional racism. Could one make the intellectual argument you're making? You just did. Is it very persuasive in light of social conditions and other events? Not to me. So in my mind, you're happy to defend a racist policy and blame God for it, when the most probable reason for it lies with the fallibity of men.

Whenever a problme arises, people are wont to blame God. Let's see, who is more likely to have been racist, Brigham Young, a nineteenth century man, or the perfect God who loves all of his children?

I'm saying you don't possess enough perspective or information to categorically state what God's stance was or wasn't on this doctrine/practice/whatever.
