I don't think he's openly racist, but I don't know what he's like in private. I don't think it would surprise me given his age and background

If we're gonna believe in stereotypes, do you also believe Italian immigrants talk like Mario?

I don't think anyone is more Italian stereotyped than Mario.

I want to say choice three, and then I remember that mess with the housing discrimination.

I don't think there's anything substantive difference between choices one and three. It's possible to be racist and not realize what you're doing. It's not necessarily malicious. In fact, most times it's not malicious, and this past weekend is an exception to the more quiet, passive expressions of racism most of us are more likely to encounter. Thing is, the quietly ignorant racism is the cause of most of racism's current impacts. The legal and law enforcement bias, the hiring bias, etc.

That said, redistricting is occasionally specifically calculated to disenfranchise voters of color. In this cases it's hard not to see these kinds of efforts as malicious, when you're casual moving around of the numbers is intentionally designed to turn people into second class citizens.

Leaning on 3, but I've heard things about how his businesses discriminated against minorities. Never verified them, so 1 is an option. But I'm giving him benefit of the doubt.

Probably, given that he's been sued over racially discriminatory business practices, that he has cabinet members that are racists, seems sympathetic to racists, has deceased members in his family who were openly racist and announced his candidacy and started off saying racist shit right off the bat.

I don't really believe he's the KKK level of racist, but I'm almost certain he's the casual grandpa level of racism. Like he doesn't say "Get that [racial slur] off my damn lawn," he'll say something like, "I like that colored boy who delivers the mail, he's one of the good ones."

I can see this. He's the type who would call Asians "Orientals" if he wasn't a business person.

He's not a racist just like Obama wasn't a Kenyan.

This is all propaganda. He could've done a better job with the press conference, but nothing he said makes him a racist. It was his way of trying to calm the sides.

Leave him alone. He's also a human being.

Because if you're not born in the United States, you cannot be president. And, there is a real question. And if this birth certificate exists, you know what I get a kick out of? The Governor of Hawaii says, "I remember when he was born 50 years ago." I doubt it. I think this guy should be investigated. I doubt it. He remembers when Obama was born? Give me a break! He's just trying to do something for his party. The fact is, if you're not born in the United States, you cannot be president. He is having a hard time — he spent millions of dollars trying to get away from this issue, millions of dollars in legal fees trying to get away from this issue. And I'll tell you what, I brought it up just routinely and all of a sudden, a lot of facts are emerging, and I'm starting to wonder myself whether or not he was born in this country.
Fox & Friends, Fox News, 28 March 2011
"Fox Goes Birther: Trump Tells Unquestioning Co-hosts, "I'm Starting To Wonder...Whether Or Not [Obama] Was Born In This Country"", Media Matters for America, 28 March 2011, retrieved on 2011-03-30
Donald Trump: Meredith, he spent two million dollars in legal fees trying to get away from this issue. And if he weren't lying, why wouldn't he just solve it? And I wish he would, because if he doesn't, it's one of the greatest scams in the history of politics, and in the history period. You are not allowed to be a president if you're not born in this country. He may not be born in this country. And I'll tell you what, three weeks ago I thought he was born in this country. Right now, I have some real doubts. I have people that actually have been studying it and they cannot believe what they're finding.
Meredith Vieira: You have people now, down there searching—
Trump: Absolutely.
Vieira: I mean, in Hawaii?
Trump: Absolutely. And they cannot believe what they're finding. I would like to have him show his birth certificate, and can I be honest with you, I hope he can. Because if he can't, if he can't, if he wasn't born in this country, which is a real possibility, I'm not saying it hap— I'm saying it's a real possibility, much greater than I thought two or three weeks ago, then he has pulled one of the great cons in the history of politics. And beyond politics.

Trump has gotten in trouble over discrimination at his hotels. I'm pretty sure he is racist, but that's also not too surprising for a guy his age. Trump should be old enough that he lived through the civil rights era.

http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/07/politics/trump-larry-king-central-park-five/index.html

Donald Trump this week stood by his controversial role in pushing for the death penalty following New York City's infamous 1989 "Central Park Five" case, telling CNN's Miguel Marquez, "They admitted they were guilty."

In an interview with Larry King in 1989 unearthed from CNN's archives, Trump laid out his position, telling King, "maybe hate is what we need if we're gonna get something done." Delivering a similar message to one he takes on the campaign trail today, Trump also advocated for more protections for police.
The case involved five teenage boys of color, who were wrongly accused and convicted of beating and raping a woman in Central Park. Trump purchased full-page ads that ran in several New York City newspapers that read,"Bring Back The Death Penalty. Bring Back Our Police!"
In the interview with King, Trump defended the ads.
"I don't see anything inciteful, I am strongly in favor of the death penalty," Trump told King. "I am also in favor bringing back police forces that can do something instead of turning their back because every quality lawyer that represents people that are trouble, the first thing they do is start shouting police brutality, etc."
"I have never done anything that's caused a more positive stir. I've had 15,000 %u2014 15,000 %u2014 letters in the last week and a half," continued Trump. "I don't know of more than two or three that were negative out of 15,000. The ad's basically very strong and vocal, they are saying bring back law and order. And I'm not just referring to New York, I'm referring to everything."
The men were later exonerated in 2002, when another man confessed to the crime and DNA backed up his confession. Trump wrote an op-ed in the New York Daily News in 2014, calling New York City's $41 million settlement with the five men "a disgrace.'

It's not. To this day, we don't know what side Trump's father was on in that brawl. And no, there's no evidence saying that he punched a KKK member. So, once again, FAKE NEWS FROM ADDY!!!!!!
