I've never heard Trump denigrate Mexicans or Blacks. He made that one poorly phrased comment about illegal immigrants being drug dealers and rapists, but in context, it's clear he wasn't implying anything negative about Mexican people as a whole, but just those that illegally cross the border. All of the instances you mentioned were taken out of context. "Because he hasn't shown any respect for anyone else that isn't white, straight, male, and American-born. Why would homosexuals get a pass?" This exemplifies exactly what I was trying to say. Do you really believe that Trump has never shown respect for anyone except for white men? I feel like there's nothing Trump could do to avoid this stigma, because our PC culture attaches it to anyone who speaks out against them. I think this is exactly why Peter Thiel is pro-Trump.

> I've never heard Trump denigrate Mexicans or Blacks. Then you haven't been paying attention. He said a judge couldn't do his job because his parents were Mexican. The highest ranking elected official from his own party, Paul Ryan, called it the "textbook definition of a racist comment".

  Thats not a lot to go by though and hardly enough to brand him a racist. He has hired more or less any race, have several women on his boards and trust his daughter with big parts of the business. His actions are very different than the claims of him. I would agree that he comes of rather ego-driven but there is a world of difference between that and the way he is portraid as the anti-christ.

      He doesn't really run casinos anymore so that's hardly useful. But for instance Key Executives For The Trump Organization LLC Cathy Hoffman Glosser http://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/people.asp?privcapId=344985 http://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/people.asp?... In other words he does have women in leading positions.
