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.

Normally I wouldn't disagree with the sentiment that more nuance is needed.
But honestly, the nuance that hating Mexicans and Muslims isn't racist because "those aren't races" is not one that I think we really need.
Cats have four legs, two eyes and two ears--and dogs have four legs, two eyes, and two ears. But a dog is a dog, and a cat is a cat--and we all know the difference.
