I've met many Trump supporters and most of them were not racist or sexist; they were mostly disappointed with the last eight years of Obama.  The media highlights the worst of the bunch because it makes memorable headlines.  Obviously it's not okay to use racial slurs, but it's also not okay to label a large subset of the population based on the unfortunate actions of a few individuals.  

If racist people play Mario Kart, does that make Mario Kart racist?  

The Mario Kart analogy sadly doesn't work on any level possible. But anyways, I was highly upset by the last 8 years of Bush, sent the economy into a deficit, started the shit that was No Child Left behind which has ironically made US students even dumber, and I could go on forever but that doesn't give me the right to call somebody a cracker does it? Of course not. One bad apple spoils the bunch or so they say. 


You're part of the problem.  You're overgeneralizing.  

There are racist Trump supporters.  There are racist Clinton supporters.  There are racist Legend of Zelda fans.  There are racist Mario Kart fans.  But none of those imply that Trump, Clinton, Legend of Zelda, or Mario Kart is racist.
