If you think Trump harbors some racist or sexist sentiments, I'd recommend looking harder. The evidence that he harbors those sentiments is weak as shit and the evidence that he doesn't is very, very strong. But arguing that if he doesn't hold the sentiments, it's okay, is a big loser of an argument and makes us all look bad as well as it doesn't even correctly represent what his supporters actually think. It ISN'T that Trump supporters are okay with some small racism/sexism, but that Trump supporters LOATHE racism and sexism and truly believe Trump does too.
I think you meant "does" not "doesn't" on the bolded.
You've taken an extreme position wuf, and as such, it's pretty much indefensible.
No one is saying that "Trump is just kinda racist...so it's not a big deal"
What I am saying is that Trump, throughout his life, certainly learned some tendencies that in 2017 are considered offensive by some people/groups. Is it racism/sexism? Personally, I don't think so. Making jokes that incorporate stereotypes or cliches isn't what I consider racist. it's insensitive. It's possibly vulgar. But not racist/sexist.
Other people disagree.
These sentiments exist within Trump. Denying that, wuf, is positively silly. the question is whether or not they represent actual hatred towards an ethnicity, or represent a sincere belief in the inferiority/superiority of certain races. I don't see that. I see an old man, whose life experiences have accumulated both a vulgar sense of humor, and an attitude of "I know I'm not really racist, so I really don't give a fuck if your'e offended at some off-color jokes"
