You're facing a linguistic problem. The english language opens all kinds of rat holes to wiggle out. In German we don't have that problem. Racist is racist, we only have one word for it when you direct hatred at a certain group. Regardless of it's nature. Yes, we know the word bigotry too. But it has an entirely different connotation and it's seldomly used at all.
Everyone knows what's meant by racist. And yes, even the mainstream media calls Trump's campaign racist.

It doesn;t, actually. It opens alot of holes to express ones -desire- to wriggle, because it;'s a very expressive hybrid language, but that wiggling is no more or less transparent in english than it would be in german - the largest single line contributor to modern american english, btw. It's going to be eclipsed by spanish (gutter spanish, too, not castillian spanish), soon, but still, you've got it for now, enjoy it while you can.
You don;t even -have- to teach an american english speaker german for them to understand a great deal of german.

Works the other way round too.

For shame...
Quote:Amid an uptick in reported hate crimes across the country following the presidential election, a New York City playground named for the late Beastie Boys star Adam Yauch was vandalized Friday with swastikas and the words "Go Trump."

These guys were even too stupid to know how a real swastika is supposed to look like. So they tried both directions for the arms. One has to be correct after all.

Quote:Neo-Nazi attacks protesters in bloody melee outside right-wing think tank
Quote:A protest outside the right-wing National Policy Institute turned bloody when a neo-Nazi who was recording the protest put down his camera and attacked demonstrators.
In video posted to Twitter by independent journalist Alexander Rubenstein, the NPI supporter can be seen in a blue button-down shirt lunging at protesters and grabbing them.
Because they get upset when someone insults Il Douche.

Not to be a dick, but we do need to keep this honest and accurate.

There have been several demonstrably false reports about Drumpf supporters committing acts of violent and overt racism, which doesn't help anything at all. The only thing it does is give ammo to conservatives about dishonest leftists, and vomitously enough, helps create a narrative that Trump's shitlickers are put upon.

Well when they get their news from habitual liars like reason.com, right wing blowhards don't need ammunition to complain. They'll just manufacture it out of thin air.

Seriously, you're posting a blog with the mission statement "free minds and free markets" to counter these reports?
I'm sure some of these incidents may not have happened or not in the described way, but a blog isn't the most reputable source of journalism either. With a mission statement that makes it quite obvious they're not exactly unbiased.
