Spare me the bullshit - let's call him a bigot - right. So that you're tender sense of semantics is satisfied. And calling them all rapists and criminals goes beyond being against immigration. Quite a bit.
Gah, I don't know why I'm even defending Donald Trump, I don't think he's qualified at all to be president. It's not some insignificant semantic point. Racism is a serious fucking charge. If someone called me a racist I would be upset about it. It's also something that is widely despised. That's why people constantly and illegitimately throw out the label racist all the time. All the time. It's also a cheap and anti-intellectual tactic where people don't want to confront or can't understand someone's political position so brush the person off as a racist.
Also, I don't care about the way someone says something. Considering that his immigration policy is the same as most people, the way he articulated it isn't that important. I don't demand political correctness from my candidates and you do.
