Twilight is truly, truly terrible for a lot of reasons beyond the ones you listed here, but not all of the items you listed are Mormon beliefs. Neither race nor sex any bearing on your standing before God; the LDS scriptures specifically state that ALL people are alike unto Him and are invited to come unto Him and partake of all the blessings He offers.

2 Nephi 26:33: "For none of these iniquities come of the Lord; for he doeth that which is good among the children of men; and he doeth nothing save it be plain unto the children of men; and he inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile."

I remember being told by an older Mormon that they were taught that if a POC repented of their sins God would take away their burden and they would be white in heaven. This was just one guy but when I checked it out online I found quite a few things like this

I'm willing to accept that Mormonism has radically altered their stance recently but there seems to have been at least a history of racism in Mormonism.

There is a *huge* history of issues with PoC in the Mormon church, starting with their beliefs wrt Native Americans. It's generally been sanitized for modern converts, but it's definitely there, as a lot of ex-Utah Mormons will tell you.
