at least indifferent to racism

I guess? I mean to be honest I'm indifferent to most things in the entire world. I wake up, walk to work, work, walk home, play games, sleep. That's my life. It's small and simple and isolated and comfortable. I don't have much to do with racism. Frankly I haven't even noticed any change in my life whatsoever from the past 3 presidents. Clinton, Bush, Obama - the only difference is what's in the news.

That said, I think you'll find most trump supporters do not agree that he is racist. We say: He doesn't hate mexicans (hispanics?) he just wants to stop illegal immigration. I mean jeez if immigration laws are racist let's change them. But for now they are the laws so why not enforce them until they are changed? Is that so naive/wrong? Will our country collapse if we enforce our borders more? Will we all go to hell if we choose to build walls?

The other thing I suppose is the Muslim thing. Is that racist? I thought that was a religion, not a race. I guess we have freedom of religion ensured by the constitution, though, so perhaps he's wrong about wanting to restrict immigration based on that. That said, it's probably a non-issue. Why would middle eastern refugees come to the USA when it's so racist here anyway? Places like the EU seem to be welcoming them with open arms, and they're closer to those places, too. This is all beginning to sound like a complete non-issue. If I was a middle easterner I probably wouldn't be trying to reach the USA to begin with. They might think differently from me, though. Time will tell, probably.

Anyway, it doesn't even affect me unless they put refugees in my neighborhood. Even then it won't matter much. I don't talk to most of my neighbors anyway. Actually, I guess I really don't care at all. Flood my state with refugees - I might not even notice. Just don't raise my taxes; I am already broke enough.
