I don't give a flying fuck what Trump believes. Calling someone a Mexican doesn't make any person a racist.

Mexico isn't a race.

Obama was half white.
Another cesspool of misinformation,


No one is white and no one is half white and no one is black....Or half black...That would be mid-grey perhaps.....As would be half white I suppose.

What caused Trump to call him a Mexican? Normally people would say a person is Mexican based on them being from Mexico, but if this man was not from Mexico there must have been some other factor that made Trump say that.

Mexico isn't a race.
In popular usage there is generally an equivalence between racial and ethnic discrimination. Apparently the UN doesn't make a distinction between the two either. And of course this makes sense, because race and ethnicity are both fundamentally divisions based around heritage.

That said, "Oh, this bigoted behaviour isn't racism because technically mexican isn't a race" isn't a great defence.

That specific case was about this guy. Curiel is an American with recent Mexican heritage.

Yes, the guy that was put under 24 hour protection surveillance after his life was threatened by a member of a drug cartel he pissed off once. I know who was being referred to.

I was asking GP what it was that makes him a Mexican given GP's stance that Mexican is not an ethnicity and the fact that GP has not said he disagrees with Trump about him being Mexican.

Our great African American President hasn't exactly had a positive impact on the thugs who are so happily and openly destroying Baltimore NOTE: thug is a dog whistle for the n-word
You are a racist for thinking all thugs are black or all blacks are thugs.

The only racism allowed on this site is antisemitism.  F

Ethnicity isn't a race. There are a fuckton of white-skinned Mexicans. There are a fuckton of Rachel Dolezal wannabes in America.

Mexico isn't a race.

People have no goddamn clue what race is. The misuse of the word today is exactly like Dr. Sowell described.

A word designed to provoke a response like Pavlov's dog.

Okay, you are right. You've convinced me on that point that I definitely argued against really hard... somewhere...

So what is it about Gonzalo that makes him - according to Trump - a Mexican?

IDGAF. Go make your own thread about how Trump is a dummy.

This thread is about the fucked-up idea that Trump is a racist.

I agree with the video you linked where it says that that conflating Latino and Mexican is hilariously stupid (timestamp 015:-022) but this thread is not about what you and I think, it is about what Trump thinks.

Still standing by Trump is a racist? God help you man.

Like I said before, if you wanna make a thread claiming Trump is too much of a dummy to know if he is a racist or not, go do that.

I'll stick with the Dr. Sowell points nobody can refute without ridiculous ad-homs.

If I said that, then you can easily tell me which post I said it in. If you can't then I didn't, and if I didn't then you can apologize for putting words in my mouth. You won't though.

All I did was ask why Trump called a non-Mexican a Mexican. If he called him that because the man is Latino then all you had to say was "Trump conflates being Latino with being Mexican". If he did it for some other reason you could just say what the other reason is. Not hard.

You won't do that either though, of course.

You are the worst kind of troll on this site. Conflating a question with a statement.

I get you don't want to answer the question that is the TOPIC of this thread and make fucked up excuses for not doing so. A troll would never actually discuss ideas.

Go be toxic somewhere else please.

It just to me looks like you are trying to avoid saying the obvious:  "They all look alike to him...", not because he is a dummy, but because, ya know, he be kinda racist like that.

Or, maybe more to the point that skips races/ethnicities...

He be supporting white supremacy.  Or at least doesn't mind being in bed with white supremacists enough to give him a voting bloc.

It would make a lot more sense that way, when ya think about it.

Few people have wikipedia articles dedicated to their racial views, however Trump is lucky enough to have one.
Few people get hounded 24/7 by the media

Wiki is downstream of mockingbird media. Most of the articles use CNN as a source.

Well, It is the most accurate news source
A study from Politifact found:
At Fox and Fox News, 10 percent of the claims we’ve rated have been True, 11 percent Mostly True, 18 percent Half True, 21 percent Mostly False, 31 percent False and nine percent Pants on Fire.
That means about 60 percent of the claims we’ve checked have been rated Mostly False or worse. Here’s how it breaks down (as of Jan. 27, 2015):

And as for CNN? It has the best record among the cable networks, as 80 percent of of the claims we’ve rated are Half True or better.

Most of the people that fact check opinions are employed by the same people that control media outlet content. 

Mockingbird fact-checkers. Why would you trust CIA propaganda and thought/opinion police?

And as for CNN? It has the best record among the cable networks, as 80 percent of of the claims we’ve rated are Half True or better.
Over 50% of CNN airtime today is devoted to the coverage of an ex-president. To state that the only "true" opinion is an anti-Trump opinion is the most modern Orwellian brainwashing example. Instead of the Orwellian 2 minutes of hate, they provide 12 hours of it.

If enough of the population can be persuaded that establishment Fact Checkers are the source of all proper thought, then Elections will be no longer necessary.

That's the end of the war of the DC Oligarchs vs the general public, and a 1984 Orwellian dystopia will be the status quo for the USA.

If you have to ask, then your ignorant, uninformed, clueless or denial.  Many  Trumpet supporters/encouragers on this site, in obvious denial that truth an many others.  Do you send a trend their? No?  Then your most likely a Trumpeteer also. Best wishes

Every public figures words are scrutinized. The president of the US most of all. The secret to not get hounded by the media? Don't say or do dumbfuck things.

You'll notice previous presidents don't have pages on their racial views. It's because controversial racial statements are a category of dumbfuck things that most people can avoid openly saying.

That doesn’t mean anything lol. Trump could say nothing and they’d still run a hit piece on him 24/7 based on so many fake news stories

You’ll note that previous Presidents all had a career in politics. There’s a reason why there are so many fake news stories. Just like bounties hoax and Russia Russia Russia

That's part and package of being the president, where every action and move is scrutinized. However the types of stories you would get would be in the same vein as Obama's tan suit and choice of dijon mustard - things that aren't particularly important or offensive.

I think there's an even more obvious link you're missing. The previous presidents haven't been shitty people.

Being called a Russian Agent is astronomically worse, especially if it’s literally proven false.

I think there's an even more obvious link you're missing. The previous presidents haven't been shitty people.
And previous Presidents haven’t gotten as many votes either. You and I both know that without mail in voting, Trump would’ve easily won. 

Don’t worry tho, states are making sure this shit doesn’t happen again. It’s why Dems are panicking. Just look at Texas for example.
