I most certainly am denying that Trump's supporters are racist. I'm not one of them, by the way. But I do know many people who voted for Trump and do not have a bit of racism in them. You conveniently overlook that virtually half of the population voted for Trump.  Do you really believe that this percentage of Americans is racist? Ridiculous.

Almost every time I hear someone say that Trump is a racist, the explanation given is that he called Mexicans rapists, murderers, etc. But a fair reading of what he said is that too great a percentage of those coming here illegally are criminals. He was right about that. Latino illegal aliens are significantly over-represented in the federal prison population.  It's not racist to point that out, or to point out that we're importing a population that is, on the whole, too violent and too criminal for our own good. But to be racist is to be so packed with evil that it serves progressives' purposes to label conservatives as that. And so they do.
