>How many of them do you think are able to carefully parse the distinctions between 'Latino', 'Mexican' and 'illegal brown person'?
And yet, Trump supporters understands that Mexican and Muslims are not a race. Hence, why they think Trump is not racist.
>Trump can't say "I want a white America". But the people who do want this haven't had any difficulty picking up on his hints.
Now you're just making up things in your mind about Trump and Trump supporters, and then accusing them of it.
- foldr 10y ago> Trump supporters understands that Mexican and Muslims are not a race. Hence, why they think Trump is not racist. So they think he's xenophobic and religiously bigoted instead? How is that better? >Now you're just making up things in your mind about Trump and Trump supporters, and then accusing them of it. I'm not making up the fact that white supremacists supported Trump.
- DefaultUserHN 10y ago>So they think he's xenophobic and religiously bigoted instead? How is that better? He is not against all immigrants. He is ONLY against ILLEGAL immigrants. He still supports LEGAL immigrants from all over the world. Also, he is not against the Islamic religion. He is just against immigration from countries with known ties to terrorism. >I'm not making up the fact that white supremacists supported Trump. The KKK also supports Hillary too, so that's just the typical election rhetoric you see every four years. These are misconceptions by people who have not listened to Trump's rally speeches. They only hear a small part of the quotes without the context and form these misconceptions about him. And now, they're shocked and confused to find that the majority of the country supports him.
- pmyteh 10y ago> Also, he is not against the Islamic religion. He is just against immigration from countries with known ties to terrorism. He expressly called for all Muslims to be barred from the United States. I'm afraid that claiming he's "not against the Islamic religion" is not a fact-based argument.
- DefaultUserHN 10y agoWhich he also later clarified to meant immigrants from countries with direct ties to terrorism. And TEMPORARY only, until they can figure something out, like a vetting program, from those countries with direct ties to terrorism. He wants to protect everyone from terrorism. Yes, he wants to protect Muslims from terrorism too. He even asked them for their help in the fight against radical terrorism, because he knows that terrorism affects them too.
- foldr 10y ago>Which he also later clarified to meant immigrants from countries with direct ties to terrorism. That's not a clarification, that's just saying something completely different from what he originally said.
- DefaultUserHN 10y agoBut at no point was it racist like you claimed.
- foldr 10y agoWe already covered that. You're changing the subject.
- DefaultUserHN 10y agoAccusation of racist where there is no racism.
- foldr 10y agoYep, we already covered that. Feel free to call it xenophobia and religious bigotry instead.

- DefaultUserHN 10y agoLike I said, election rhetoric meant to smear the opponent. Voters are smarter than this. Voters care more about the real issues that are affecting them (jobs, economy, etc). They don't care who the KKK is voting for. The result of the election have shown that.
- foldr 10y agoHuh? My point was that the KKK really was supporting Trump, whereas it was not really supporting Hillary.
- DefaultUserHN 10y agoWe have no way of knowing whether they genuinely support Trump, or whether they did actually support Hillary like they claimed to. It's all election smearing and rhetoric, which voters don't care about, as the election results have shown.
- foldr 10y agoThey didn't claim to support Hillary; see link. David Duke did, however, endorse Trump.
- DefaultUserHN 10y agoI understand. They claimed to have donated $20,000 to Hillary. The website claimed the claim is false. We will never know, but more importantly, the voters didn't really care who the KKK was supporting, as the election results have shown.
