Donald Trump likes to claim, among other things, that his presidency has been a huge success for non-white Americans. But for all his claims, repeated polls show the president remains very unpopular among people from ethnic minority backgrounds.
Nowhere is that more apparent than at his rallies.
In Montoursville, Pennsylvania, on Monday evening, the line of people waiting to see Trump stretched roughly the amount of time it took this Guardian reporter to walk 15 minutes. Aside from length – thousands and thousands of supporters had turned up – one other thing was noticeable: the line was overwhelmingly filled with white people.
“I get called a sell-out all the time,” said Sany Dash. She was standing outside the aircraft hangar where the president was due to appear in a couple of hours’ time.
A sell-out and a traitor to my race. It happens almost every day online.”
Dash, in her 40s, lives in New York City, and was born in India. She said her abusers – whose platform of choice is usually Facebook – accuse her of being a “white Christian” who has stolen a profile photo from the internet and is now masquerading as Hispanic. In reality, she caught the Trump bug during his 2016 campaign, and on Monday she and a friend were selling Trump baseball caps which bore the message: “Bye bye Dems.” Dash was wearing the red version, which had the US flag embossed on the peak.
“Oh hell no,” she said when asked if she wore the hat in New York. “They’d kill me.”

My county Republican club had a speaker last night from the “Latinos for Trump” organization. She is a 5th generation American.
The ones that show up at the rallies are the bravest of the brave. The rest vote at the ballot box.
anyone calling him a sellout is a fool
PDJT has improved the economy greatly for most Americans and black unemployment is at a serious longterm LOW now!!!!
more jobs for most people and blacks are especially benefited.
Many black people will also benefit from PDJT’s getting the invasion (immigration) under reasonable control.. just as soon as he can figure out how to overcome the opposition from the Plantation Slave Party (Democrats)
Whole race issue is nonsense. There’s only one race, human race. How about arabs? Persians? American Indians? Some differing features yet not considered a “race”. So now let’s just use “colors”. But...we’re all colors. So it’s all based on looks because genetic makeup some people look different. Juvenile nonsense.
More accurate definition and word is tribalism. But let’s all keep normalizing conventional wisdom BS and rote false language premises.
Ridiculous.
Trump’s policies are good for everyone who wants opportunity to work, regardless of race, color or gender.
I thought that is the right objective.
What the hell am I? A voter of NO COLOR?
We all bleed red.

Racist.
Caucasian peach is color. Do not let leftists steal the word “color”. Nope. It is not going to happen.
We love our color.
Racist Democrats can f off.
Better to be an independent thinking sellout, than a 3rd generation lemming that pulls the level and drools like Pavlov’s dog when they see a ‘D’ on a ballot.
Trump has “rallies of color”.
The lying Left jealously wants to steal the word color.
Democrats are racist.
some animal died on top of his head?

“Oh hell no,” she said when asked if she wore the hat in New York. “They’d kill me.”
My ardent wish is for the day to come when democrats are scared shitless to show who they are.
What’s with the weird get-up. Is he going to a Halloween party, or did he just lose a bet?
We're here. We're clear. Get used to it!
This is the new normal. See “Pete, Mayor.”

I am an uneducated deplorable but I always wondered why Jews are considered a race. I thought it was a religion.
