Excuse me, but, being against 'affirmative action' is not racist

Today I saw a rainstorm of accusations that Donald Trump was a racist and I had no idea why.

Then I read Whoopi.

Bob Schieffer.

Chris Matthews.

ET CETERA ET CETERA ET CETERA

It seems that Mr. Trump’s, frankly, buffoon like, most recent dredging for Mr. Obama’s undergraduate records, apparently some kind of attempt to ferret out if he has substandard entrance grades for Harvard Law, is racist in some quarters.

The USA, is a meritocracy. We believe in results. So if the USA had a choice between a substandard achievement which FOR WHATEVER reason received some beneficent, merciful, treatment out of scale compared to others, and someone whose record indicated unquestioned competence we would choose the latter.

So I understand where Mr Trump is combing from.

IT AIN’T RACIST

IT IS RIDICULOUS

Obama has a (horrific) record to run against. If he had a 2.2, and Harvard said ‘we need one more black guy’ (can you imagine?), WHO CARES?

Donald Trump, while raising issues others were afraid to mention, such as Oil, China, yadda, provided a valuable service.

Which has now ended.

YOU’RE FIRED.

Even though you are NOT a racist.

Epaminondas,

yes you're right, its not racist. Since when is it racist to oppose discrimination based on race? Also, just because racists oppose affirmative action, doesn't make it racist.

“Europe has not yet learned how to be multicultural. And I think we are going to be part of the throes of that transformation, which must take place. Europe is not going to be the monolithic societies that they once were in the last century. Jews are going to be at the centre of that. It’s a huge transformation for Europe to make. They are now going into a multicultural mode, and Jews will be resented because of our leading role. But without that leading role, and without that transformation, Europe will not survive.”
