"...Because Mexican is not a race" has been told more than once in this forum and others.
I think this is not well reasoned. Firstly "racist" under its modern meaning is actually "xenophobia" which can indeed be the sole xenophobia against Mexican. But nobody or nearly use that word among lay, and most people understand "racist".
Secondly, you can be racist against any non white, but single out Mexican as being the nearest in proximity. The sentence ignore this fully.
As such the various statement of Trump are definitively xenophobic in nature, and almost certainly racist.
What do you think ? Should we encourage the more accurate word at the risk that nobody else use it, or should the modern meaning of racist be taken and simply qualify Trump as racist ?
