Donald Trump

Try disguising yourself as non-white - my father was white-as-chalk but my mother was a native from Guam; as a result I look off-white, something other, maybe Mexican. My lifelong experience with midwestern and southern states is that they all have significant racial bias against nonwhites. And that explains a lot of Trump's popularity.

Interestingly enough, in spite of Trump's rhetoric against immigrants - especially any immigrant who doesn't look flour-white - some non-caucasians nonetheless support Trump. There was a recent poll/survey to explore this unintuitive phenomenon - and it found that Blacks, Hispanics, etc., supported Trump in spite of his rhetoric b/c they thought that Trump's anti-black, anti-hispanic, anti-non-white rhetoric was directed at someone other than themselves. OK in their minds that Trump is engaging in such hate speech - b/c it's not me - the Black, Hispanic, non-Caucasian, that Trump is referring to.
Oh i've seen the racism.
In Flagstaff i got thrown out of a bar after sticking up for a native Indian who was getting shit. Spent a day on the lash with a black cop who was the only one attending a police conference in Florida.
 
This is why i'm astounded at the support trump gets.
I've been around the States a few times and met lots of sound , rational people. But the fact is millions will vote for a complete dickhead.
what is the appeal tho? dont follow US elections close enough, but how does he manage to gain the support he gets?

I heard something or read somewhere about him wanting to launch digital currency ventures, esp if he wins he will push it more. Meaning for the crypto lot, it's advantageous - profits etc. Might be wrong on that.
