Personally I never understood the fake pearl clutching, but I guess thats all the left has now.

Seriously. Grow up, people. I don’t have to like everyone, and neither does anybody else. To profess that you do, is not truthful.

Those Persian women are hot. (and beautiful)

Besides--that's nothing--Little Donny Jr. tweeted that Kashoggi was a terrorist sympathizer. How's that for being a crude dolt?

It's apparently genetic.

He should have said Persian. And imo, most Persians are white.

It's just weird more than anything. I don't know about racist. The way he threw it in there was odd within the flow of wrapping up the segment.

But all politicians are in a bubble. It's no different than all the quasi-racial/"insensitive" stuff Crazy Joe Biden has proclaimed over the years.

Well, "to the extent that it matters" he's not gay... or so he says.

What's the point in being bothered by his commentary on this issue? I mean, it's fairly predictable.

let me see if i'm following this:

it's 'racist' for a white guy to say it's 'terrible' to be white?

i'll buy weird.

'racist' and 'xenophobic' is the usual let's-pretend-to-be-horrified poutrage.
