    A lot of us have been expecting it for decades. Remember when Trump was still a joke candidate on the primary and he was doing an interview and a ‘‘serious’’ reporter interviewed him and asked about his racist comments towards a sitting US Judge who was born and raised in the US, but he had a Spanish name! So Trump was calling him a ‘‘mexican’’ and the reporter told him to tone down the racism and say ‘‘Hispanic’’ instead. He, real time, softened trumps message, that was ENTIRELY RACIST, to sound arguably not racist if you squint and pretend.

    Trump was never the problem, American style white supremacy has always been the problem. No, you aren’t free from racism because you call the people you are ethnicity clensing the correct term publicly.

    Fun fact: the Spanish Inquisition always made an appointment. Everyone expected the Spanish Inquisition…
