>"26,000 unreported sexual assults in the military-only 238 convictions. What did these geniuses expect when they put men & women together?" Trump said that if you put military men and women together, the sexual assault rate will go up. The military proceed to put military men and women together, and guess what? The sexual assault rate goes up. Trump was right. What is sexist about being right? >"Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on" Everyone that enters the United States must be vetted, that includes Muslims too. Muslim will not be excluded, because that would be racist. >"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people." But Cartels are bringing in drugs through the border. And 1 in 4 women who cross the border are raped. And some of those Mexican people are actually good people. How is any of this racist?

The military comment sounds like its excusing sexual assault as inevitable and is honestly pretty offensive to military members. Shutdown of Muslims entering the country was the phrase. Not that we should vet all religions equally. Youre misrepresenting what he said pretty clearly. He didn't say cartels. He said "Mexico". And some I assume some are good people suggests that the base case for Mexicans is that they're rapists and murderers. I really think you're stretching to excuse his statements. He speaks pretty clearly and unambiguously in those remarks.

  >The military comment sounds like its excusing sexual assault as inevitable and is honestly pretty offensive to military members. He wasn't proposing a policy here, and he wasn't even defending sexual assault here. He was just pointing out what was happening in the military. Pointing sexual assault is not sexist. >He didn't say cartels. He said "Mexico". Yes. Mexico. In other word, people from Mexico, which includes both good and bad people (the Cartels are from Mexico too). Saying that Mexico have both good and bad people is not racist. >And some I assume some are good people suggests that the base case for Mexicans is that they're rapists and murderers. No, it suggest that the base case for Mexicans is that some of them are good people, and some of them are bad people, just like every other race out there. >Shutdown of Muslims entering the country was the phrase. Not that we should vet all religions equally. Mexicans are not Muslims. Mexicans will be vetted too. They can come in, but they must come in legally (through the vetting process). And once the vetting program is setup, everyone will be vetted. He said many other things, however, you seems to be ignoring everything else he said, and focusing only on one specific quote, which can be taken out of context easily.
