      Is xenophobia somehow okay? Is there, in practise, a well-defined distinction between xeno and racism in a multi-race society?

      If xenophobia is causal to racism—if xenophobic policies lead to racist policies—does the distinction even matter?

      Does it even matter whether a candidate is sincerely xenophobic/racist or whether he's just adopting such policies for power?

      When Trump says he'll build a muslim registry, it doesn't matter if it's sincere or for power.

      I read Scott as distinguishing sharply b/t racism and anti-Muslim/-foreign bias. These are awful(!!), but aren't white nationalism.pic.twitter.com/IWLysBfEFp

      Trump totally deserves to be criticized/vilified for those things, whether he's sincere or "merely" a political opportunist.

      Are we inhabiting the same reality here? Or am I still missing something?

      This is too much for me to address on Twitter; we'd need to go through the article together in person for that. But...

      I'll concede that we should focus on demagoguery and not racism if you concede that racism is usually the fuel for demagoguery.

      I can't concede on that point because I've never had an opinion one way or the other. It sounds plausible though!

          Also I want to see Trump's racism (hatred of people for their race per se) if it exists! Don't leave me blind if you see something.

          Well give it some thought. It's my main point.
