But the other thing in discussion, "bigot" is also really terrible, so I don't think the distinction is as great as you make out.

In any event, what is the end game here for Buster? Trump arguably isn't racist based on his words, but is likely a bigot? Umm, yay!?

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
