Guess what op? My husband is an immigrant, my best friend's parents are immigrants (she was born here in the USA shortly after they arrived here), and several other friends of mine are immigrants. Some of them are even Mexican! While Donald trump wouldn't be MY choice for president I wouldn't judge ANYONE, let alone my family members for supporting him. My dad supports him too, and guess how our conversation went:

Me: really dad? Tell me what you like about him.

My dad: (explained all the reasons why he likes him)

Me: oh ok, that's cool dad, I'm hoping (my choice for next president) wins the nomination.

My dad: oh yeah, why do you like him?

No anger, great conversation between two adults, both of us learned something and treated each other with respect. We don't have to agree with each other to have a conversation. You owe your parents an apology for acting like a jerk.


Actually, I don't. I am not sorry and I am not going to lie. We have had calm conversations about others who are publicly racist that they defend and support. This is the last straw in my tolerance of their support of intolerance.



Well op, you are no better than Donald trump or anyone who supports him. Based on what you've posted here, I wouldn't want to spend any time around you, so I will leave it at that. But I really hope you're just a republican that's trolling as a democrat, because you have a pretty crappy attitude.

OP is supposed to be excited to realize how deep her parents racism runs? Not likely.

I am constantly trying to discuss tolerance/equality in relation to race, religion, and gender in my tiny little hometown and I am no better than Donald Trump? You are hilarious. I am going to guess you are the one trolling us or you are a pushover.

I don't get - they raised me to be an incredibly strong, independent and outspoken woman, but they don't think he is sexist.

My best friend is Mexican. They love him, like he is an unofficial member of the fam, but they don't find Trump's comment offensive.

I am just so angry right now..


Did they raise you to be rude and disrespectful too ? YOU owe THEM an apology.

If it makes you feel any better they have lots of company. Go online and watch 60 Minutes from last week - they did a story on focus groups of Trump voters and it was illuminating (scary to me) how much people forgive him for (racist/sexist comments in particular).


Please. Bill Clinton is credibly accused of rapes. He was impeached for lying under oath in a sexual harassment lawsuit that he had to settle for 1 million dollars. Is the depositions need to be opened during the campaign as I'm sure Trump will demand .. Omg !!
He was president and he did a good job.
