That is so wrong, a better quote would be:
"The illegal French immigrants are ignorant assholes, except for some of them".
The key differences are - Not all, the illegal immigrants. And Mexican, like French is a Nationality and not a race.
- atomi 10y agoThe alt-right gained most of it's momentum during Trump's campaign. You think that's a coincidence? And this, "it's a nationality not a race' is hardly a good reason to denigrate an entire people.
- andrewchambers 10y agoPeople keep saying he denigrated all mexicans... He didn't, he denigrated illegal immigrants. Unless you are implying all Mexicans are illegal immigrants? I don't even like trump but this kind of nonsense makes me defend him.
- carapace 10y agoAnd when he said that judge couldn't be impartial due to his ethnic background, who was he denigrating?
- andrewchambers 10y agoThat's not because the judge is Mexican, that's because the judge is human and a huge propaganda machine was working against Trump telling everyone that he hates the judges culture. I don't know how impartial I would be if i thought I was ruling against a hardcore racist who hates my culture.
- carapace 10y agoWell, I hope you're not a Judge then, eh? ;-) (You're supposed to recuse yourself in a situation like that, you know.) Even if he was trying to impugn human nature and not Mexicans, he's still saying that race trumps Justice (in the person of the Judge.) That's not the values I want my President to treat as normal, because it effectively promotes racialism. Certainly his election has already emboldened racists to make physical and verbal attacks across the country. Do I care if he's really racist or not?
