Do you understand why Trump is being called racist?
It's not because liberals think the wall is racist. It's not because being against illegal immigrants is racist.
It's because Trump equated "illegal immigrants", and by that I mean every one of them, as being rapists, murderers, etc.
It's more like this:
"We need to do something about the media not calling white shooters, 'terrorists'. " vs:
"All white people are terrorists and we need to do something about them."
The former suggests there are some people are bad people. The latter makes the claim that all white people are bad people. The latter is racist because it is qualifies people based on their race instead of qualifying them on their actions.

I think Trump supporters don't like him being called racists because by extension we would be calling them racists because they hold the same belief as Trump. So it becomes not a matter of where Trump is racist or not but whether they can be honest with themselves that they are also racist.

Trump supporters are not racist. I have arguably become racist because I faced racism most of my life for being a conservative minority. You need to learn what racism is and is not. It’s not racist to see 98% of Africans vote democrat and assume that they are voting based on their race. Most of the democrats that boycotted Trump’s speech were black. That makes them anti-white and racist. Try again.
Even though I am brown, I will side with these so called “white supremacists” because the one’s I have talked to are not racist in any way that leads to an oppression of people or mocking dehumanization. That is what is true racism. Enforcing borders saves lives and it’s not evil to deport people who overpopulate our country off the books with fake wealth. I mow my own lawn so maybe you can’t relate to a hard day’s work. Microagressions for misunderstanding is not real racism. Also, you can be racist towards whites which is what is happening. Even though I’m hapa or something I want to know where this white privelege myth comes from. My grandfather was wealthy as a government computer programmer and engineer. My fully white grandfather was orphaned because his father got TB and mother had no eduction, fought in WWII and permanently injured his back, and loved me (his mixed grandchild) to death. He was an anti-communist Republican who’s entire family tree for three generations lived in the city of Philadelphia.
The only thing that has ever made me “racist” is the fact that many minorities refuse to assimilate to American culture. Theodore Roosevelt said America has only place for one language: English. Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson toyed with the idea of deporting all Africans, and actually hold more racist views than almost any of our presidents in history. Woodrow Wilson was racist and also enforced extreeme censorship. FDR (the socialist) was a known racist and oppressed Japanese. We are taught that Japanese and German Americans at the time of WWII were basiacly subhuman. How is that not real oppression of people? LBJ was a known racist and is responsible for a lot of liberal policies that have led to minorities being enslaved to the democratic party. The Clinton foundation faced accusations of extreme abuse and scandal in their efforts in Haiti.
The statue of liberty was placed directly next to the offices of legal immigration where one fills out paperwork. More importantly the statue was not a rule of law or symbol for amnesty. Our immigration laws throughout our nation could be considered Eurocentric with white/European only rules and a merit based system. All my ancestors came here with jobs already lined up for them and a legal process. This was also before America was populated at the level it is today.
White Americans do face racism. There’s also the redneck myth. The idea that southern whites are not intelligent. One may point to a very poor state like Mississipi where objectively whites make less money and the state education is poor. However, Mississipi whites are actually above the national average by education testing standards. What does that mean? We know mississipi is one of the worst in education. Does that make me racist for pointing out that Mississipi is only poor on education standards because of their minority population? No, that’s just data. I’m not interpreting anything. It’s up to the left to prove white opression of minorities there, but we see that democrats run their cities and populations and they get the federal dollars. So really it’s not racism by opression or dehumanization. No one thinks of mississipi and thinks of minorities causing the state to need increased federal funding. All that blame is placed on the “redneck” This is just one example of many.
Trump isn’t trying to screw over legal hispanics or blacks. Trump isn’t trying to create monopolies that outsource jobs to Mexico or China. Trump is only saying America first and his immigration compromise includes legalizing more hispanics than Obama was ever willing to do. The fact is that the vast majority of Republicans agree with Trump so no they are not racist.
I am more on the extreme right, but is that because of racism? No, it’s because I have read into detailed demographic analysis and voting patterns. If we give amnesty to people who will vote against our principles anyway what is the point? Republicans are typically not racist to be so niave. I am actually the only person who is in my family not Republican anyway because I am not a civic nationalist. I am independent and cannot even vote in primaries in my state. I urge Republicans to wake up and stop being afraid of being called racist because you will always be racist to these people even if you have friends who are a minority or are mixed raced yourself. You will always be an uncle tom to them because they are the real racists. The left engage in identity politics with everything and it’s time the right does, too. Of course if I see minorities start voting more divided instead of uniform democrat and big government then I could change my position, but there’s no evidence that will ever happen.
