I don't consider that an overly important distinction. I mean, maybe. But I also don't think you (or anyone here) is a racist, that's how I'd put it, that's as far as I would commit to that. For I can't really know. There's only a handful of really close people I could guarantee for in that regard.

I don't think that last part really applies. Yeah she wanted to paint him as an old man somewhat insensitive to racial issues. I don't think that's fair, but I also don't think she wanted to bring others to thinking Biden's actually a racist. One step too far, imho.

Some will excuse the attack or seems Nationally applaud it but the dynamic of excusing personal attacks in Political debate is nothing new. 

It's a bit hard to avoid in a field with 20.000 candidates. Stay noble and be forgotten first. Not that I want to excuse an attack I called a bit cheap myself, but I'm not so sure whether I should rather hate the game than the player here.
