I've noticed that shitty views tend to come as a package deal. Rarely if ever have I seen someone be racist and *not* also sexist, homophobic, transphobic, having the wrong opinion about pineapple on pizza, etc.
I'm glad that my first memories of Trump all revolve around my old man calling him a dumb fucker. Like when The Apprentice would come on TV (we didn't have cable) and he would exclaim "What is this dumb fucker doing on TV" or when he would say something about Rosie O'Donnell and my mom would hear about it while watching the View or ET and he would say "That dumb fucker" and "What did that dumb fucker say?". Good times, good memories. I remember in 2016, a sophomore in college, wondering how
I’m being completely honest it was only a few months ago that I became 18 and therefore Obligated to HAVE to pay attention to politics, is Trump’s “Racism” in reference to the Mass Deportation or something completely different/unrelated?
Trump still thinks the central park 5 should be punished even though their innocence was proven, he has countless racist claims about Obama's birth certificate, etc. Dude's been racist long before he was in office. Pretty sure you can find evidence of it if you aren't being intentionally obtuse
In addition to @draqsko 's comment, he has also appointed cabinet members who have systematically removed people of color, women, and LGBTQ+ people from their positions within those departments (military and otherwise); also attacking federally funded institutions like the Smithsonian for refusing to white wash history.
Goes back to Charlottesville and he comment, "there's good people on both sides." There is no "good" white supremacist, the whole ideology is based on hating non-whites. But if you want to learn about the rally that really exposed his racism (plus all the comments about Mexicans while campaigning to be elected the first time):
He became the far-right's guy when he kept doubling down on birther conspiracies after mainstream Republicans decided it was too openly racist to be a winning strategy.
It goes back to his time as a slumlord in NY when he was slammed by the courts for his racist renting policies. And how he took a full page out in the NYT promoting the death penalty for the NY 5 who supposedly had assaulted a white woman in Central Park. News flash, no they didn't. Even after they were exonerated, he just doubled down on it. His racism is truly awful.
You're probably white? Fraud is "just" money issue, but racism is human rights issue. Racism pisses me off more as someone just lurking on american politics from Europe.
i'm asian actually, my issue is he has actually faced real consequences for his racism, several times he's been sued and lost money over his racial profiling, however he's never seen any consequences at all for all the fraud he does, thats why the fraud pisses me off more
I'm from Croatia. We are a pretty homogenous community with just recently getting somewhat segnificant immigration of foreign workers and passing migrants. I'm really surprised how much racism there is in my own country and how dehumanized the foreigners are. Now to your question. American movies and tv shows are by far the most consumed and by some extent american politics because it influences us. We notice a lot of inequaluty and unfairness over colored people vs white (which are two main...
...drivers of crime IMO). We notice crazy stories of chasing down and even murdering non citizens (which are actually eployed and how is that possible if they are illegal?). We nocite overcompensating with "woke" and with movies that have black characters where historically they were white. What annoys me personally is "race is a social construct". Well, EVERYTHING is a social construct. It's just descriptors we use and put things into boxxes with labels so we can communicate. There are...
...obvious differences between races. I can tell a Filipino over Nepalese foreign worker in my country, and they are kind of similar compared to natives and I can still tell them apart just by looking at them. And now US is somehow forcing their race issues onto the whole world shaming everyone who dares to think like race is just a race. Yes there arent that many differences between races and we don't have to think bad of anyone and we can still say he's a different race, it's not a taboo....
trump is the grandchild of a nazi germany immigrant, i expect racism out of him, and frankly he has actually been punished for his racism, several lawsuits have been made against him for it and won, the fraud on the other hand just has gone on for decades entirely unpunished

One of these days, I want a reporter to ask Trump if it bothers him that the only times he won the presidency were when he was running against women.

European here. Racism isn't even on my top-5 reasons to hate Trump. I do hate him for it, but he is far worse than common racist.

Can you tell us more about how you perceive racism in the US as seen from Europe? I'm honestly curious.
