It appears you - and Trump - have lost the power to dictate what "the real subject" is. If you ever had it, that is. It's enjoyable.

because their "fix" involves a lot of money....that their ancestral countries don't have
...and their fix will make this country exactly like them

PR is broke from spending too much money on benefits...and AOC doesn't see why we can't spend more money on benefits

So who are the racists here? who's really seeing skin color only?
Yes. "why don't you go back where you came from" is a racists trope. It doesn't matter what race is being talked about. Now, some of you might mention that Scandinavians are white, which is true. So CAN this be racist? I am not a linguist, but to draw negative stereotypes about people strictly upon the basis of their skin color or country of origin is often referred to as racism, or perhaps discrimination.

Seeing skin color is not the problem, and it is not racist. We all see each other's skin color. The problem is generalizing who they are on the basis of their skin color, and seeking segregation of skin colors.

..the racists are the ones that think it is

..the racists are the ones saying you can't talk to them like you would anyone else...because they are black
So you don't think the President (any POTUS who is in office) should choose his or her words any more carefully than other politicians ?

Trump has always been a racist as he learned it from his dad.

The black/race card? Now that's a new one, I thought a race card was just a race card.
