JonTron was criticizing collectivism. That was what he was getting at with non-white people being lumped into the anti-white crowd. He doesn't like how people are expected to think a certain way just on the basis of their skin color. He made a similar argument again on women and feminists. I will agree that anti-Americanism and anti-white people aren't equivalent to each other. However, your third claim is flawed because you're assuming that anti-white propoganda and wealth of a predominantly white nation are mutually exclusive. As I said before, discrimmination is discrimmination. Nowhere in the defintion is wealth of the country and the demographics of the country are involved. This is a bad comparison altogether.

As for your second paragraph, this has already been addressed by someone else earlier in the thread (the one who made a point of looking at the big picture). I will also supplement his point that Trump's travel ban was intended to be temporary. You would have a case if he was planning to do that indefinitely, but 120 days is a finite duration. So overall, this doesn't support your notion that Trump wants to divide people by race. You've also failed to prove your allegation that JonTron praised Trump. Criticizing Bernie Sander's tweet about dividing race and insinuating that Trump is not dividing people by race is not praising Trump.

Well, where are we seeing anti-white propaganda by the rich establishment? Minorities are obviously targeted more than whites:

The gap between incarceration rate between whites and blacks is enormous. That is something that does not happen without institutional racism.

Also, your claim that Donald Trump doesn't want to divide people by race makes no sense, when he made his first campaign speech on the illegal Mexican immigrants in the country being rapists, and also by supporting the temporary ban on Muslims, and even in the presidential debate when he supported stop and frisk, which mainly targets minorities. Jontron may not have overtly said that he supports Trump, but the context makes it likely that he does.

Saying that minorities are targetted more than whites doesn't necessarily disprove that there is discrimmination against white people. Both can happen simultaneously. Also, overrepresentation in incarceration rate does not necessarily mean there is institutional racism either because you haven't provided the big picture behind those statistics. Is there a law that discrimminates against a certain ethnic group?

Also, I'm already getting tired of your strawman fallacies. Read my comment again. I did not claim that Trump does not want to divide people by race. I was showing how your use of his travel ban as evidence didn't work. Stop addressing phantom arguments because I'm not interested in responding to these kind of false refutations. Your last sentence is argumentatively weak, as well by making a conclusion based on a personal perception rather than on something definitive. In addition, your original claim was that JonTron praised Trump and now you have changed it to him supporting Trump. Be consistent.
