As for it being a racist comment, it is far from it. He was talking about countries. It amazes me how people try to spin things for their agenda and to find a reason to get angry.
eh.. throwing the whole "why not people from Norway?" thing pretty much sealed the lid on his statement being race based, unless of course one is tone deaf to such matters.
What I'm not surprised about is that we all KNEW Trump was racist I mean look/HEAR some of his past commits is that his base still supports him. As Trump said while he was campaigning that he could walk out and shoot someone and not lose support.
It's not a crime to be a racist that's his and whoever else chooses to be one as well, BUT Trump should have NO say in ANY immigration laws. Period.

Which is usually the case with RW now.
So is saying "I would rather live with the people in Beverly Hills than the people in Compton" a race-based comment? Or saying that you would rather live in any middle-class white suburb over an impoverished black neighborhood?
