re: #289 goddamnedfrank

Trump’s “go back” comments were nativist, xenophobic, counterfactul and politically stupid. But they simply do not meet the standard definition of racist, a word so recklessly flung around these days that its actual meaning is being lost.

I do believe that the term “racist” gets overused, but that in this particular case, it is spot-on.
