Is Donald Trump a racist?

by **United States Kingdom** » Sun Jul 12, 2015 3:10 am

I want to see the general NSG opinion on him. Do you guys think he is a racist because of what he has been saying about immigration, Hispanic people etc?

Donald The Duck? (Im Not American) Yes!

by **Rhyfelnydd** » Sun Jul 12, 2015 3:11 am

Not only no, but hell no.

by **Dawangdidou** » Sun Jul 12, 2015 3:11 am

He shouldn't even be in the news, or spoken of.

Changed it to if Donald Trump is a racist. I think he is, but I want to see what the majority of NSG users think.

" Do you guys think he is a racist because of what he has been saying about immigration" Oh My God Its Like Sweden!

The only possible reason I could want that is sheer misanthropy. Not just for the USA but for the whole world.

Sadly, there is a dark part of me that embraces that misanthropy. Here's to 2016 Donald Trump presidency and the looming end of the world!

Aw, topic change...

Of course he's a racist. Have you heard him speak? That's indefensibly the case.

You are aware I have added other reasons, and I didn't specifically state that the poll was created because of what he stated on immigration right?

etc is not a reason and probably Donald Trump is trying to defend its nations culture?

I got that add-on for Chrome that adds ridiculous quotes from the man beween his first and last names. Thank you for bringing him up again. This thread will no doubt earn me some laughs.

Anyway, Trump is a strange creature. I try to avoid reading anything he says because I begin to feel my brain liquify in my ear and drip out onto my shoulder. I'll say probably, just to be the Devil's Advocate.

He is an arrogant prick and I do not support any of his views on Latin American immigrants.
He believes most are bringing drugs and/or are criminals

All That Reminds Me Sweden.

How is this even a question?

~~And I'm baffled that the majority of NSG thinks that he isn't a racist. This probably has to do with him being a republican presidential candidate.~~

EDIT: i have now realized that only 16 people voted on the poll

Etc is used to symbolize more examples than the ones that are listed but don't worry, I understand you don't know. Anyway, in terms of your question, racism isn't used to defend a nation's culture. In addition to that, no were in the statement you quoted did I state that he was defending the USA's culture so to put it simply, I don't see the point of your question. :blink:

While he may not be the most PC of candidates Donald Trump does have negotiating skills, ability to get things done and understanding of finances that could be of benefit to the USA. He also doesn't need other peoples money to finance him so he is less likely to sell out his principles - whatever they may be - and he knows how to promote a brand - including Brand America - generate optimism and back it up with investment (which in this case means more military intervention). He likes his east european women too which means that Ivanka may be able to help find way forward with both Russia and the EU.

I'm not from the US so my vote doesn't matter but I think Trump would be hugely entertaining - the President that the USA deserves!!!!

Click "can change vote".

Yes. As a general rule, people who believe that Mexicans are criminals, drug mules and rapists tend to be racist.

Case closed.

He did say, "And some, I assume, are good people," in his defense.

Hahahaha yup he sure did.

"Some, I assume, are good people" is the best save he could come up with after stereotyping an entire community. I should try that next time. "Black people are all thugs, gangsters, and well, some, I assume, are good people".

Indeed. It's one of his better quotes. Another one is "Laziness is a trait in blacks."
(I hope you know that I was poking fun.)

Of course haha. The smiley was more than enough to make that clear.

And many conservatives say I should ignore his comments as a American of Mexican extraction. Because I'm an American first and he was talking about "illegals"

Looks more like someone who desperately wants to exploit the public's xenophobia to get 5 more minutes of attention, like many right-wing populists everywhere.
