I believe I said (and I'm sure you will correct me if I didn't) that there are some that do overuse the word racist.  As far as immigration the current POTUS does seem to have a problem with people from certain countries over others.  The citizens of those countries tend to be of darker skin.  He has also made disparaging remarks about entire races (Mexicans) even when they were born in the US (the judge in one of his many court cases).

So I won't claim otherwise.  I will say that using the worst as an example to paint most is unlike what you usually ask for,

So this quote:

Is NOT hyperbole? I've said it before and I'll say it again:  If someone denies that the word "thug" is being used racially they either live in a bubble or are lying.  Maybe I just read more.

Well it was in response to this quote:

If that change from "someone" to "white people" doesn't imply that people other than white people were once considered racist but now they are not then there needs to be a better explanation of that sentence.
