Trump recently referred to Haiti and Africa as "shithole" countries. Do you think the he is racist? And do you think the people actually deserve such treatment or what he said is the reality?

I have heard plenty of Nigerian citizens saying their country is a shithole country because they cant get jobs, have poor hospitals, unreliable electricity grid etcetc.
You have mutiple countries in Africa who we refer to as failed states. Countries that are not able to guarentee the safety of their citizens. Take for example Ethopia.
Well call it a failed state or a shithole country. But naming it a shithole country isn't very sophistocated. That said, that doesn't make you automatically a racist.
A failed state could have people that are yellow, white, blue or orange. He never adressed their skin colour, so you should be carefull with labeling someone a racist.
Well, you have said your point.But the main point of argument from most african countries was that he was a known racist.This is the reason why i brought that aspect into my post. You might also come to realize that they have a point because people from those countries are virtually blacks.
