SAN DIEGO — There is a new form of hate speech that white people use to poke at Latinos. It goes like this:

“Trump! Trump! Trump!”

I suppose it is same as the "build that wall" chant at the high school basketball game where some latino students played. They are basically telling the latino population that they are not wanted, and should be kept out, or thrown out of the country. I am not buying the "hate speech" claim, but these chants is what Trump's presidency has given the US. Everyone is at each others throats.

Trump is the very embodiment of racism, hate, and violence.

So using his name as hate speech makes a lot of sense, it's probably inevitable.

Trump is the President and Commander in Chief and top law enforcer. He ran on bringing law and order back to our nation after years of obama having people under him look the other way when it came to illegal aliens. Sadly many illegal aliens have come from Mexico, Central and South America so that makes them Latino.

The chant of Trump Trump Trump is not so much racist but it is used as a reminder that if you over stayed your visa or snuck into the country you are in fact breaking the law and you should be worried that you might be arrested and sent back.

It is not racism it is enforcing existing laws that we have in place for a reason.

There are millions of latino citizens in US, and when you sling such crap at them you are being an ass. Pure and simple.

This is proof positive that Trump has unleashed all the bigotry and hatred in the nation that people were keeping bottled up. Some of the GOP are enablers to this.

if they're citizens, they have nothing to worry about and no reason to be offended.

I recall the videos of people at Trump rallies shouting "GO MAKE MY BURRITO! TRUMP! I LOVE TRUMP!" and various other slurs, so it's no great leap of logic to assume that many people who shout "Trump!" at Latinos are doing so for a very particular reason.

People tend to get offended when they are treated as undesirables.

Let's do some simple algebra:

A) Trump is a racist

B) Chant his name at people (non-whites only)

C) Racism

A + B = C

I just solved this equation for you.
