  In typical Vox fashion, that article is really stretching to make a point. A few examples: - "Trump Management Corporation" accused of racism, not Trump himself - Trump pays for ad saying “Central Park Five” should be executed. They were innocent. But apparently that's racist? - In The Apprentice TV show, Trump said of a black person “You’re an unbelievably talented guy in terms of education, and you haven’t done anything. That's racist? - Trump proposed idea for The Apprentice - “an idea that is fairly controversial — creating a team of successful African Americans versus a team of successful whites. Whether people like that idea or not, it is somewhat reflective of our very vicious world.” That's racist? - Trump claimed, “I heard [Obama] was a terrible student. Terrible. How does a bad student go to Columbia and then to Harvard?” Poor taste? Tactless? Unpresidential? Sure. Racist? Not really.
