If so, guess what mr. Trump, that is racism.

Most Americans - I can't just single out conservatives or right-wingers on this one - do not understand what racism is. There's this definite line of thought that if you're not wearing a white hood and listening to Prussian Blue, then you're not a racist. It's to the point where talking about racism is a bigger social taboo than actual racism.
