Everyone I know who claims Trump is racist can quickly and easily point to specific policies, quotes, and actions - both before and during his presidency.
This meme that people don't have evidence for their issues with Trump is not only false, it's comedically ironic.
- fariktoon 6y agoThe problem is that people in the US have a weird definition of racism, see the "shithole countries" mentioned in this discussion before.
- raxxorrax 6y agoI don't think so. He is just generally offensive. I use the classic and correct definition of racism that associates attributes to racial groups, or more precisely ethnicities and adds a value judgement to that. You are a racist if you think one ethnicity is intrinsically superior to others. I don't think Trump has that belief, it is also improbable for his character in my opinion.
- Falling3 6y agoFirst, your argument is different from the comment to which I replied. Whether Trump _is_ a racist and whether people have reasons for believing he is a racist that they can articulate are two completely different things. >I use the classic and correct definition of racism I really don't have any interest in debating what definition of racism is better - certainly not which one is "correct". But dictionaries and definitions are descriptive and subject to change; they're not normative. If your argument hinges on a different definition of a word, you're no longer have a good faith discussion with someone.
