Due diligence has nothing to do with Q;lakdj;d's request for links. He wanted links and was provided links. So what? he gets what he gets. He could easily have done the same and googled Donald Trump racist to see all the articles that have contributed to people's opinion about Donald Trump being racist.

The article was exactly what I expected.

For example, Donald Trump thought the Mexican judge would be biased because of his proposed policies towards Mexican immigrants. The article presents it as if Donald Trump said he was an unfit judge because he's Mexican. I can't believe I'm here defending Donald Trump right now, but it's like you people refuse to think for yourself and let these ridiculous click bait articles that are 99% opinion and 1% fact tell you what to think.

So when presenting evidence, one does not in fact have to verify to at least some degree that it is reliable? Good to know. I think I'll go to a rape clinic and start handing out pamphlets with Gamergate talking points about how bitches be lyin' and ****, yo.

Are you surprised? Liberals can be just as intellectually lazy and vapid as conservatives, and x10 come election season.

To be fair with that one, I think he would have said the same for any Mexican judge.

I can't believe that people are so stupid that I'm driven to defend Trump.

The judge wasn't Mexican, he was American.

He was of Mexican descent though, correct? I believe I read his parents were Mexican immigrants.

Yes, he's of Mexican descent. That's the issue with Trump's comments about him. He's a guy born and raised in the US but Trump was equating him with illegal immigrants from Mexico based on his ancestry.

In May, Trump implied that Gonzalo Curiel, the federal judge presiding over a class action against the for-profit Trump University, could not fairly hear the case because of his Mexican heritage.

“He’s a Mexican,” Trump told CNN of Curiel. “We’re building a wall between here and Mexico. The answer is, he is giving us very unfair rulings — rulings that people can’t even believe.”

I believe Trump is stating the judge would be biased because of his Mexican heritage. Not saying the guy isn't an idiot, I just don't think it's racist.

Racist may not be the right word since Mexican isn't a race, but it's certainly a bigoted comment.

Fox News has the largest viewership of any TV opinionated news network. Rush Limbaugh has a huge audience. Breitbart has become one of the most popular websites on the internet. The media cuts both ways.

I truly believe Trump is racist. Having your staff make sure there's no blacks around when you visit one of your casinos says it all. And if you can't agree that he's made racist statements you at least have to agree that it's lurking just beneath the surface of a lot of his comments. Like going out of your way to point out the black person at one of your rallies:

"Look at my African American over there!"

Thing is Trump supporters don't care about mud (facts).

We're not stupid. You just like to argue with the majority opinion all the time. Be it politics, music, movies, etc.

No. He's an American. Trump's grandfather was born in Germany. "He's a Nazi," Chula told CNN of Trump.
