Is Trump Racist?

Being a liberal with brown skin and all, I'm pretty sensitive to race issues, but I'm just not seeing it. I don't see a racist in Trump. I see a recognition of racial differences, and a recognition that something needs to be done about Islamic terrorism and our southern immigration problem. But I don't see Trump as a guy who hates Black, Hispanics, brown people, etc.

He's definitely not very artful with his words (which is part his appeal to many, oddly enough), but a racist? Nah.

Thoughts?

He will be a racist if the crowd he is addressing is a bunch of racists.

Did not distance himself from KKK when the upcoming round of primaries were heavily concentrated in the south. Distanced himself immediately afterward when primaries were shifting north.

not sure if he's racist.. but he's definitely a bigot and a misogynist. And, at the very least, he doesn't think much of brown people.

this guy supports him.

so does this guy..

not sure who he supports.. but the guy in the middle with the KKK suit on supports Trump.

Yes, Trump is a racist.

I honestly can't tell what he is. He panders to every audience and says little of substance. He's learned politics very quickly.

I think it is more that business and real estate translates into politics pretty easily.

Trump is already reaching out to Hispanics:

I gotta hand it to him, he is funny.

Do bears bear? Do Bees Be? Does a picket fence?

I've had quite a few taco salads in my day but I've never had a taco bowl.

Opposition to Trump is certainly racist.
