(Credit: AP/Evan Vucci) After Donald Trump’s vulgar comments about immigrants from “shithole” countries in Africa and the global south were reported last week, the president was almost universally condemned by critics as a racist. Nearly three years after Trump announced his candidacy and began his xenophobic campaign, mainstream media outlets, which until now have been reluctant to use that term to describe the president, finally acknowledged what has long been obvious. “The President of the United Stated is a racist,” declared CNN’s Don Lemon, as did other top pundits and reporters, while the New York Times published a “definitive list” documenting Trump’s long history of racism going back to his early days in New York. Even a group of African ambassadors to the United Nations issued a statement demanding an apology from the president, calling his comments “outrageous, racist and xenophobic.” It is no doubt a good thing that the mainstream media is finally starting to point out the obvious truth that President Trump is a racist, and it took them long enough.
