Trump's long history of racism, 1970s to 2020.Trump repeatedly claimed he's "the least racist person
If you ask Donald Trump, he isnt racist. To the contrary, hes repeatedly said that hes the least racist person that youve ever encountered. Trumps actual record, however, tells a very different story.
On the campaign trail, Trump repeatedly made explicitly racist and otherwise bigoted remarks, from calling Mexican immigrants criminals and rapists, to proposing a ban on all Muslims entering the US, to suggesting a judge should recuse himself from a case solely because of the judges Mexican heritage.
The trend has continued into his presidency. From stereotyping a Black reporter to pandering to white supremacists after they held a violent rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, to making a joke about the Trail of Tears, Trump hasnt stopped with racist acts after his 2016 election.
Most recently, Trump has called the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus the Chinese virus and kung flu racist terms that tap into the kind of xenophobia that he latched onto during his 2016 presidential campaign; Trumps own adviser, Kellyanne Conway, previously called kung flu a highly offensive term. And Trump insinuated that Sen. Kamala Harris, whos Black, doesnt meet the requirements to run for vice president a repeat of the birther conspiracy theory that he perpetuated about former President Barack Obama.
This is nothing new for Trump. In fact, the very first time Trump appeared in the pages of the New York Times, back in the 1970s, was when the US Department of Justice sued him for racial discrimination. Since then, he has repeatedly appeared in newspaper pages across the world as he inspired more similar controversies.
This long history is important. It would be one thing if Trump misspoke one or two times. But when you take all of his actions and comments together, a clear pattern emerges one that suggests that bigotry is not just political opportunism on Trumps part but a real element of his personality, character, and career.
