We're missing the forest for the trees here. What was offensive about Trump's remarks wasn't so much the specific word that he used, however beneath the dignity of the office of President it might have been.
It's the substance of what he said that's the problem -- that we should only accept immigrants from wealthy countries and not poor countries. That statement is completely antithetical to American values, and is something you'd expect to hear from politicians in an era that should've been well behind us by now.
In Search Of The Red Cross' $500 Million In Haiti Relief
When a devastating earthquake leveled Haiti in 2010, millions of people donated to the American Red Cross. The charity raised almost half a billion dollars. It was one of its most successful fundraising efforts ever.
The American Red Cross vowed to help Haitians rebuild, but after five years the Red Cross' legacy in Haiti is not new roads, or schools, or hundreds of new homes. It's difficult to know where all the money went.
The Red Cross says it has provided homes to more than 130,000 people, but the number of permanent homes the charity has built is six.
Ask a lot of Haitians — even the country's former prime minister — and they will tell you they don't have any idea.
Most of the food that was purchased after the "Live Aid" concert in the 1980's was left on the docks to rot or stolen by the government. That is how they control their people by keeping them desperate.
