Nope. This just goes to show how much the term "racism" has been diluted over the years. People don't even know what it means anymore.

Key word - "superior".

you're point being that referring to someone as having a place in society where they hold a menial job is not acting in a superior manner?

You're making the assumption that this is Trump's motive, and you're doing so to justify your charge of racism.

Best I can tell, he was insulting her. He probably does think he is superior to her... on a personal level. Like, he probably thinks he's superior to most people, since he's a highly successful businessman turned President.

That's arrogance, not racism. If he holds this view towards all Hispanic people, regardless of thier actual place in society, then yes he's being racist. Does he hold this view? That is not clear based on the facts. So you're jumping to conclusions in an effort to charge Trump with a more serious accusation than simple arrogance.

No, you're trying to find a loophole whereby calling a hispanic woman Ms. Housekeeping isn't racist, but something else.

But obviously there's only one way to interpret that insult, just like there's only one way to interpret Mr. Petrol Station.

Again, superiority. Based on race.

You can interpret it how you like, but it's your interpretation of racism. And it's wrong.

That's pretty much the very definition of racism.

Yes, that's my point. This isn't what Trump did, unless you wish to guess his motive. I'm guessing his motive too, but I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt where the motive is not obvious. I'm assuming his motive was to insult an individual. You're assuming his motive is to insult a race of people.

So if someone calls a person by a racist slur they're not being racist they're just being mean to that one person. Not sure about that.
