#Trump #racism
"As he began eyeing a political career in the 1990s, the racist remarks kept coming. As recently as 2024, he continued asserting the guilt of five Black teenage boys who were arrested over the 1989 sexual assault of a white woman in Central Park but were ultimately acquitted in 2002. He was also one of the main figures spreading conspiracy claims insisting that Barack Obama, who was born in Hawaii, was not actually eligible to be US president because he had not been born on American soil.
During the 2016 presidential election, Trump made blanket statements characterizing Mexican immigrants as sex offenders. The roots of his anti-DEI policies were visible in his remarks at presidential debates, where he insisted that he would do away with 'political correctness' — a term that emerged in the US in the late 1980s to describe culture and values showing consideration for minorities, and one that goes hand-in-hand with DEI policy.
Trump’s statements won him the support of lower-middle-class white people with lower degrees of educational attainment — people who perceived themselves as 'real Americans' and felt disgruntled over being worse off socioeconomically than non-white people and immigrants. What developed from there was a form of 'Trumpism' that centered on white nationalist sentiments and an 'America First' mentality that repudiated an international role for the US."
