fits the bill exactly.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/12/15/doj-trump-s-early-businesses-blocked-blacks.html

A super who worked for the Trumps, Thomas Miranda, allegedly told the DOJ that Trump Management staffers had instructed him to “attach a separate sheet of paper to every application submitted by a prospective ‘colored’ renter.”

“Miranda was to write a ‘C’ in order to indicate to management that the prospective renter was ‘colored,’” the DOJ noted in court documents.

.......

The DOJ said that Allan Gross, another rental agent, claimed that he, too, was aware of a code used “to designate which applicants were black or otherwise ‘undesirable.’



Webster's definition:


http://www.webster-dictionary.org/definition/racism

Noun 1. racism - the prejudice that members of one race are intrinsically superior to members of other races
2. racism - discriminatory or abusive behavior towards members of another race

Claiming that completely unacceptable behavior is normal. It's a slippery slope towards becoming official policy.

Many Trumpers love being called racist because they can easily dismiss us as being soft whiny liberals. They gleefully say openly racist things daring us to call them out, and they respond that they are very blunt and speak their mind and don't have time for political correctness.

They are appealing to the worst in human nature to manipulate people's fears and uncertainty.
