Not sure on the japanese part.

He didn't say all mexicans were rapists and murders, even if we allow for mexican being a race and not a nationality.

We also know that muslims are not a race.

So, to be considered racist at the least you need to have issues with people who are part of an actual race.

My bad, it was the Chinese.

He said Mexico sends rapists and murderers, and he assumes, some are good people. It's hard not to take that as a racist statement.

Muslims are a group of people who he wanted to ban from the US, even though, statically speaking(folks love stats when they can use them to further their argument), Muslims make up less than 1% of the folks who commit violent crime.

All the folks above are a part of a race, called the human race.

Best article! Especially sex with his daughter. Guess some of the incesters love that comment!

Truth is many people aren't voting for him because of his policies. He had none. ...

YES!YES! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! I hope he doesn't stop with Mexicans or Muslims, but block immigrants to America completely!

I don't remember him saying he wasn't going to allow legal Immigration?

He plans to make America great again. That would be the time before all the pesky immigrants came and messed it up. .... legal immigrants are on the menu boys!

Everyone I've ever known has done an impression of an asian person. Have you ever made a british accent? Do you hate the brits?

People in this thread are committing the same sin I spoke of in my first post.

First, some of you don't even know that racism is not the term you're looking for: it's xenophobia, and no they are not the same thing.

Here is what Trump said about Mexico:

"When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best."

True.

They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems

True.

, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs.

True

They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.

True, some are.

And some, I assume, are good people."

True, some are.

All the folks above are a part of a race, called the human race.

LMFAO. Now it's racist to say anything against a person because they are part of the human race? Then you're a racist because you don't like Trump.

Great company you keep. Hopefully they didn't do it on a podium...

What about the Mexicans that are already here not any of the above? Should we same the thing about Americans? Because everything he said can be attributed to us as well. If he said Americans aren't the best, they have a lot of problems, they have drugs, they're rapists and criminals, is that true?

I vote for Paris Hilton. She's popular, a TV star, she tells it like it is, I've seen the way she treats her dog so she knows what's good for America. I vote Kanye in for VP. He has awesome communication skills, he tells it like it is and he'll defend America

He's already declared he will run in 2020! Looking forward to the redecoration of the White House when Trump gets in-lots of gold;)

So then you concede that what Trump said was, in fact, true. If not, please underline the part that wasn't.

This article, like so many, completely misses the point. Hidden behind the author's gargantuan aplomb and self-assuredness is the fact that this election is not about Trump so much as it is about not being everyone else. The republican leadership who continually don't act in ways their constituents want, the democratic leadership that crowned hillary months if not years ago, that sees no problem in the dynasty that American politics have become. Bush presidency. Clinton presidency. Bush presidency, then almost another clinton, but damn it the black guy beat a woman to the position laments hillary, then another clinton presidency. Nepotism in this country is beyond the pale.

That's why Trump can say stupid things and not only do they not hurt, they help. Because when he says them the establishment so happy to keep the status quo rails against him. And the people realize that to support him it's saying F you to that establishment.

Tomorrow Romney is going to endorse Trump. I know, it won't sound like it. It will sound like he hates him, that he can't believe what this country is coming to. Yet it will backfire and more people will go to Trump because Romney represents what they hate: a party man blessed by the powers that be that the people feel let down by.

All the left wing media has on Trump are the same parroted "This guy is so dumb look what he just said!" stuff without trying to understand how other people can hear the same thing but support him. This guy at least seems to get it: http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2016/03/02/this-election-is-about-restoring-american-exceptionalism.html?intcmp=hpbt2

Nope, I asked if the same can be said for Americans. Tell you what, look up the crime stats for rape, drugs, and murder. Post them here. If Hispanics are the majority of what's been said, then I'll say it's true.

Actually, your statement is quite false. Tell me, what establishment is he giving the middle finger to? Trump hasn't spoken out about big corporations taking money from the little people. He hasn't went against police brutality. He hasn't talked about gun deaths, or any real issue that's a problem in this country. He's done nothing but target minority groups(Hispanics, Muslims, Black people) and THAT'S why he's popular. PERIOD.

It's funny, when a Muslim does something, all Muslims have to condemn it universally without the slightest hesitation, even though it has nothing to do with them personally since if they don't they will be lumped in as being terrorists themselves. Trump basically waited until he didn't have a choice to condemn the most violent group in America and he gets a pass, not because it's a F you to the establishment, it was a silent wink to the group who's endorsing him.

If I'm in error, then find me a Trump soundbite that DOESN"T talk about a minority group and actually has some valid political point.

"When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best."

"So I am glad we are gathered hear from the 6 corners of Mexico at the Mexico City Hilton. First order of business, how can we export more sociopaths and asshats to our friends in EL Norte. We are currently exporting 60% criminals , what can we do to get that number above 80%"

Three glasses of Silver Oak 2007 Cab and I am starting understand your thinking...not agree just buzzed enough to not be offended. Fancy words , did you get a dictionary? I am glad using those expand your vocabulary sections of readers digest are paying off. Aplomb are self-absurdness are the same thing however

Also whenever you think its not about Trump, its about Trump.

And..what does this even mean?

"much as it is about not being everyone else. "
