I love the notion that "Trump isn't racist, he is just Corporatism Ethnic Social Nationalist". Like that is supposed to be better.

Race is such a subjective term and the definition of race has changed over the centuries. It's not even a recognized way of categorizing humans by most modern biologists anymore. Saying Mexicans aren't a race is not a valid argument for someone not being a racist if you don't know where that person's definition of race begins and ends. Was Hitler not a racist because "Aryans are not a race"?

Freedictionary.com's #2 and #3 definitions are:

Quote:
2. A group of people united or classified together on the basis of common history, nationality, or geographic distribution: the Celtic race.

3. A genealogical line; a lineage.
And the term "racism" is commonly accepted to encompass those definitions.
