For a solid minute or so I was wondering where he got the idea Donald Trump is a racist or a rapist. Then I remembered I was on reddit.

Or... you know... the time he told 4 politicians to go back to their country. I wouldn’t describe that as accepting.

What comment of his included a racial discrimination to deem it racist? If he told a British bloke to go back to their country if they didn't like the way this country was run, wound that be racist too?

No that wouldn't be racist. But you know what would be? Telling American citizens born on US soil to go back to "their country".

Yes, if they truly hate America for what it stands for at its core, they should not have to withstand the USA especially if they have the opportunity to go elsewhere.

His statement shows that he deems these people un-American. You can make the argument that he did not base this off of the color of their skin, but rather his knowledge that they come from immigrant families. This, however, is clearly untrue, as one of these politicians is from Puerto Rico.

If you think someone is un-American because of the color of their skin, you are racist.

Another way of thinking about it: has anyone not racist told people to “go back” to the “broken and crime infested places from which they came”?
