As we count angels on the head of a pin in discussing whether it is racist to want to deport all Muslims, or to believe that Mexicans are criminals and rapists, let's not forget about his discriminatory practices with respect to African Americans, and his comment that African Americans are "lazy." I've yet to hear anyone defend those things as somehow "not racist."
His participation in the birther movement is further evidence. Nuance is great, but sometimes a label just fits.
