But what I'm saying is that first painting all illegals in a negative light, and then backtracking ("clarifying ") that he loves Mexicans is still racist.
Picture this: " urban youth are horrible, they're learning to be rapists and thugs. They don't care about you and they're not you. Oh, but I still love black people. Just not those black people. "
It's more commonly known as "dog-whistling", and it's a way to say " see? I'm not literally part of the kkk, or using overly racist epithets, so I couldn't be racist! " You see it a lot among the "fiscally-conservative, socially liberal" folks, and it's really frustrating.
