Donald Trump is not Racist: Change my Mind

Since my opponent was having trouble with some classic DDO glitches, His round 3 argument posted as the same argument as round 2. Due to this, I will post his argument right here. Please do not vote against him for this glitch. "Even if it wasn't the full link, You can still access the website, So you would be able to fact check me. I used NYtimes, Which is something that we can all agree is a valid source. You asked why what he did 50 years ago matters today, And to answer your question I am going to use an example, Bill Cosby raped those women a long time ago, But he still raped him, And he still needed jail time, So he got it. When Donald Trump was racist a long time ago, He still deserves repercussions. The reason that skin colour is a common factor in deciding if someone is racist or not is because the definition of racism is "a person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, Or who believes that a particular race is superior to another", Race affects skin colour, Judging someone on their skin colour is racist. I will now give out some new evidence. This one will be about how he thought a judge was biased because they are a Mexican. "He"s a Mexican, " Trump told CNN of Curiel. "We"re building a wall between here and Mexico. The answer is, He is giving us very unfair rulings " rulings that people can"t even believe. " He thought that just because the judge was Mexican, He would be biased. When in truth, He was an American citizen born in Indiana. He went after Mexican drug cartels, And this made him a target for an assassin. If Trump actually did the research, We wouldn't even need to have this conversation. " | | | | I would like to thank my opponent for participating in this debate and being civil. I saw the source in the comments, And I have read that before in a previous debate. Now onto the arguments. My opponent begins by stating " You asked why what he did 50 years ago matters today, And to answer your question I am going to use an example, Bill Cosby raped those women a long time ago, But he still raped him, And he still needed jail time, So he got it. When Donald Trump was racist a long time ago, He still deserves repercussions. " The reason I say this is because you yourself said that it wouldn't be considered racist back then, So that would be like rape being ok back then if we are going off your example. I also provided evidence within a hyperlink of your own source, And I found out it was only claimed by ONE person, So this is not credible. My opponent has failed to rebuttal to this as well. My opponent next states "The reason that skin colour is a common factor in deciding if someone is racist or not is because the definition of racism is "a person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, Or who believes that a particular race is superior to another", Race affects skin colour, Judging someone on their skin colour is racist. " I don't know why all we look at first is "is it racist", And this is simply because they have a different skin color. We should look at the facts before we play the race card. We should judge someone based on their actions, Not their race. My opponent also concedes this point, Admitting it "could've been an accident. " In a new point of my opponent's argument, He brings up a case where he believes Trump is racist involving a Mexican judge, Stating "He thought that just because the judge was Mexican, He would be biased. When in truth, He was an American citizen born in Indiana. He went after Mexican drug cartels, And this made him a target for an assassin. " This is not racist, And you do not have the full story. Trump thought the judge would be biased because he is of Mexican heritage(his parents are Mexican) and is personally biased against his immigration stances, Referring to the border wall. He has said things like this in interviews, Which was a hyperlink within your own source. (https://www. Politifact. Com. . . ) Trump also clarified his statement, Which I found out because I discovered a hyperlink within the hyperlink of your source, And he said this- "I do not feel that one"s heritage makes them incapable of being impartial, " Trump said, "but, Based on the rulings that I have received in the Trump University civil case, I feel justified in questioning whether I am receiving a fair trial. " (https://www. Usatoday. Com. . . ) Trump thought he could've been biased because he didn't give the presidential candidate a fair trial. In conclusion, I believe I have effectively disputed and rebutted my opponent's claims with facts and reasoning. One piece of advice for con would be to look more into multiple sources and find out the real truth and both sides of the argument, Instead of relying on New York Times opinion articles solely, Especially when their are direct sources within the article. I thank con for participating in this debate, And hopefully he does not run into anymore DDO technical mishaps. Thanks for reading this, And I now will pass the torch to you for the next statements and rebuttals for your argument.
