I don't care if Trump is racist or xenophobic or whatever. In fact, I think it's silly for one to invest themselves into American politics. We all know that nothing material will change in Washington regardless of which side is in power (other than perhaps the approval of Keystone XL). It's merely a sideshow that provides an interesting psychological study into contemporary American society.

I care. America is a huge player on the world stage. Change starts with awareness and understanding, not ignoring the serious problems we have with racism and bigotry. Ignoring it doesn't solve anything. It won't disappear any time soon, but future generations will move forward as long as we keep it in sight and make a big deal out of it.
