One can be racist without believing one race is superior to another if they are paintina another race with a brush they don’t deserve. For example, if a white guy said “The typical Black man would never let a white guy marry his daughter no matter how good a man that potential son-in-law was,” I would consider that racist.

It’s splitting hairs anyway. He believes and is willing to say the typical white is prejudiced, and he wants to lead a country where “typical whites” make up the majority of the population. Whether he’s a promoter of stereotypes or a racist matters little when you come right down to it.

While what you’ve said has some merit, words mean specific things and the word ‘racist’ has been thrown around so much in the PC climate that it no longer seems to mean what the dictionary reads. I’m rather fond of using the correct words to describe someone or something. Insulting someone is not necessarily a racist action.
