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.

GTFO with your trolling. He was being lazy in asking for links to an argument that has been plain as day since the beginning of Trump's election. He could have done the same thing and googled just like I did and got better examples. I matched his effort to the argument.

Pretty much exactly how I went about it, though I seem to get more criticism for it for whatever reason.

Learn to read. He was asking for links to see if any of you would provide actual evidence that wasn't bull**** clickbait, cause Frownland wasn't interested in Trump's racism, he was interested if certain posters in this thread could back up their arguments with anything logical and concrete.

And what did Ki give him? Bull**** clickbait.

Errr - no. I asked for links because just as I suspected, the evidence you gave me was filled with nonsense that only the PC police could write off as actually being racist. I'm not questioning Trump's racism, some of the stuff reporter from years ago has certainly made it evident he may be. I'm looking for things he has said since he's started running. Hillary supporters love to say all of the dirt on her is from years ago, but everything I hear people toss at Trump is the same deal. Why can't we just admit they're both pieces of **** and vote for somebody else?

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.
