Telling them to go back to where they came from and fix those same crime infested countries, when these are American citizens, is an attack on their ethnicity.
Or do you not understand what the word ethnicity means?
Ethnicity: the fact or state of belonging to a social group that has a common national or cultural tradition.

And to help put things in perspective, here is what the left is defending:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN)Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI)Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA)https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2...-squad-so-far/
Of course when Trump reasonably points out how vile and anti-American these sentiments are, he's blasted as a racist.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostHe is allowed to criticize their policies. Heck, he's allowed, legally, to make racist remarks. But then, so are we allowed to criticize him for making them.
But to the point, had he stayed with criticising their policicies instead of attacking their ethnicity, we would be having a very different conversation.

Originally posted by seer View PostFirst ethnicity is not race, so it is not racist by your own definition. If Trump had said this about a US citizen of Russian heritage I doubt that you would have objected. Selective outrage.

Originally posted by Darth Executor View PostIt's an attack on them, not their ethnicity. Saying someone (who is obviously not loyal to America) is loyal to a foreign nation is not an "attack on ethnicity" except to idiots who hate thinking.

Attacking the person in politics is sometimes easier than showing what is wrong with their policies, but if you take that over the top as Trump has done here, it accomplishes the reverse. It cause people that would otherwise reject their position to rally behind them. And it causes all but your most loyal to walk away.
