How are they racist?
And yes I will patiently wait for an answer. We all will.
For context — in his first speech of the campaign, he called Mexican immigrants "rapists".
FOX News. Is there any proof that Mexican men rape women more often than anyone else? I have yet to see an argumentation made for this. But since elected he's incessantly talked about and sought funding for a border wall with Mexico.
Even though a number of studies have shown that immigrants to commit FEWER crimes than native-born Americans
Politifact, ICE raids have increased under his administration, and Trump says that ICE raids and border patrol are the only way of keeping LA from becoming a "crime nest"
FOX News. This is dehumanizing language — let's see him call any white group a "nest" of anything.
He signed "an executive order in January 2017 establishing a ban on travel of people from Muslim-majority nations"
FOX News. One could argue this is not "racist" per se, although bigoted against a religion and these countries, coincidentally, are not white-majority countries.
He calls Africa a bunch of s***hole countries
Chicago Tribune and calls for more immigration from Norway because obviously Norwegians are "industrious". He initially refused to condemn the Neo-Nazi white supremacists at Charlottesville, saying there were "very fine people", which made many Republicans speak out against him, including Paul Ryan.
FOX News His words and acts seem racist to me.
You've probably noticed I've tried to pick news sources that are on the Right or moderate. Someone who does not immediately and clearly condemn racist acts in the 21st century does not deserve to be the leader of the most powerful nation of the world. And giving Trump any legitimacy by meeting with him just normalizing what should never become the norm again.
