Politics - Is Trump racist? - View Post

No idea. I think he's a liar. So that means it's impossible to know whether what he's saying is what he actually thinks or if it's what he thinks he needs to say to get elected.

Though I guess if you are going to say things that are apparently racist in order to get ahead then to some extent that makes you racist.

But I don;t know enough about his racial views to be able to say. I know he makes a lot of very xenophobic statements. But that just makes him a nationalist. Its possible he doesn't care what race a person is if they are a "real" American.

I suppose you might ask whether his immigration policies are specifically targets against non-white people. If that's the case then it's suggestive of racism as well as nationalistic xenophobia.
