The only way this argument would make sense as a critique of Trump's supposed racism would be if you believed some races do _not_ have good genes. I doubt you believe this. I certainly don't.
- true_religion 6y agoSo in the broadest sense, all ethnicities have good genes, and all people probably have rich and vibrant cultures that are a credit to humanity. However, if someone in the US started an all white club to blandly talk about how great Caucasian genetics and culture is, then I would be very suspicious of them. They wouldn't even need white robes and pointy traditionalist wizard hats (symbolizing their respect for pre-chrisitian religions I am sure)...
- eesmith 6y agoDoes Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota have good genes? Do you think Trump thinks she does? Who doesn't have good genes? Given the association between the eugenics movement and "good genes", Trump has a large negative association to overcome if he's trying to say something so anodyne.
