I take it that you are an all or nothing type of guy. I personally see no correlation between birtherism and racism, but if that's how you perceive that, its your right to do so. I have no opinion on this other than if there is reason to believe, than the question should be asked. We live in a society that has stopped asking questions and that is not a good thing. That said, the second anyone questions something, they are automatically the bad guy. I don't get it.

I'm more than happy to chew Biden out once he takes office, but I don't see why you brought him up in a thread about Trump.
You guys love to deflect away from the topic at hand, don't you?
"But this thread is chock full of examples." Debunked examples
""...factual racism thread" sounds like "I will determine what is and isn't racist", doesn't it?" Take it however you want, nothing would stop you anyway.
Again no, calling the virus the kung flu is not racist since it originated in China! Please provide a link to your claims that Trump said that the South Koreans (in general) are terrible people and was based on racism. I'll wait.
There is no racism to defend because there is no proven racism on Trump's part. WTH does Neo Nazism have to do with anything?
The virus has a name, it's called covid19. It's not called Kung Flu by anyone other than racists, looking to use it to denigrate asian americans and sow racial division. It's like saying go0k is not racist because it's just a term used to describe anyone from vietnam. No sir, we have a word for ppl who use terms like that. But please, test the theory, that it's perfectly fine by speaking that way to random asian americans, and call covid19, kung flu. I've noticed you seem to be ignoring my challenge. I wonder why that is.

If that's all true, why did Paul Ryan apologize for a racist remark from Trump?
According to Ryan, he never called Trump a racist. Seems Ryan doesn't think he is racist, just that the comment could be considered racist. Do you believe Ryan in that? Why not since you believed Ryan when he apologized for the remark?
Liberals can't prove Trump is racist. And Trump asking for Obama's birth certificate isn't racist, Obama had a questionable history... "Barry Soreterro" or whatever the hell his name was at one time....

I am well aware of the medical name for the virus but that still doesn't make the term "Kung Flu" racist. You need to buy a dictionary to find out the correct meaning of the word racist. The term was used because the virus originated in China. What racial division? Huh? I don't know any random Asians nor any Asians at all so your challenge is null and void. Liberals find an imaginary racist hiding behind every bush. You didn't disappoint.
I look at this a bit differently...I don't care if he is a racist, its the polices that matter. Harry Truman was a racist. He knew it and he knew that his prejudices were not good for the nation and he was able to put them aside. He was also anti-Jewish. His diaries show that. Yet in his business life his partner was Jewish - though he was not allowed in the house and had to stand on the porch - and his Administration recognized Israel. We may not be able to help how we feel, but we can change how we act.

Any term used to demean a group of ppl based on ethnicity is racist. No one of any sort of intelligence would ever use the term Kung Flu over covid19. It's intent is to sow hatred towards asians in this country and divides us as a society. You are either willfully obtuse or incredibly ignorant, if you think "Kung flu" is not or will not be used in a derogatory fashion towards asians. I'm speechless.
Don't know a single asian? Gee, i wonder why you think the way you do. Sir, go find some asian americans, start a conversation with them on "kung flu," and see how they react. This could be in person or online. The challenge is not null and void, simply because you don't know any asians. Gain some perspective on racial diversity. You sorely need it.
