[QUOTE="tonyexpress, post: 3680389, member: 1940"] Here is a different viewpoint. [URL='https://www.huffingtonpost.com/jon-deutsch/no-donald-trump-isnt-a-ra_b_10417888.html'][SIZE=5][B]No, Donald Trump Isn’t a Racist[/B][/SIZE][/URL] But, you may be asking, isn’t it racist when he talks about banning Muslims from entering the U.S. and saying that illegal Mexican immigrants are rapists and criminals? Nope. Why? Because: [LIST] [*]Muslims aren’t a race [*]Mexico isn’t a race [/LIST] Yes, many of Trumps’s statements seem racist, but it’s just a plain fact that they’re not. Why does linguistic accuracy matter? Because there’s an actual danger for those who inaccurately impugn someone’s character: [B]it can backfire and damage the accuser’s credibility[/B]. Also, it misdiagnoses the problem many have with Donald Trump as a political candidate. If we misdiagnose our candidates, then we’ll be voting for or against them for the wrong reasons. Guess I'm vile now because I offered another viewpoint. smh [/QUOTE]
