      So here’s my current question: as folks like @sethdmichaels have noted, the conceit that telling folks that something Trump (or anyone else) said was racist would “turn off” voters doesn’t seem to apply voters who also endure racism and racist attacks. Why?

      What are non-white voters supposed to do here, non-white voters for whom racism is not just a bread-and-butter issue, but enmeshed within all of the other ones (from healthcare to the economy)?

      As always, this is a genuine, good-faith question about which I am genuinely curious.

      I don't have an answer but @BenjySarlin tweeted some stuff last year that maybe he could expound on. He said something about white middle America seeing the culture change so fast (e.g. gay marriage) that they're worried about suddenly being bigots w/o even a chance to adjust?

      That is, some form of feeling suddenly 'canceled' because a conversation that moved so fast you didn't even participate in it left you behind. It makes them feel, idk exactly--Benjy did the interviews and I'd be interested if this is at all relevant.

      The speed with which even people with solidly progressive credentials & education get abruptly declared Problematic is terrifying, all the moreso to people not acculturated in the Byzantine world of academic intersectionality. It's like Sam Gamgee dining at Downton.

      But again, that doesn’t answer my question about outreach or concerns about “turning off” black voters.

      The problem is 1) the massive overuse of the term like racism, 2) the bait-&-switch nature of definitions of the term, 3) the death-sentence nature of being branded that way in the modern workplace & 4) the constant shifting goalposts. None of which, tbf, 1 person can control.

          What if - bear with me here - the problem is the racist telling US citizens to go back where they came from

          Turns out people that aren’t racists don’t worry this much about it. If you have an opinion or believe that impacts a person’s welfare based on skin color, then fix it...see, anti-racist.

          Unless someone calls other niggers or burn a cross on their lawn it ain't racism, I assume.
