The first thing that struck me in section II was how he is cherry picking Trump quotes like 'I love Hispanics' to prove the point that he is not racist. How about the huge number of Trump quotes that prove he is racist? Surely these should count for more than any denials. 'I'm not a racist but ...' sort of thing.
I think this is the point - are there loads of overtly racist quotes? Clearly trump is an absolutely horrific misogynist idiot, but I'm not sure he's said much that is overtly racist. This is the target of the articles dog whistle critique...
I'm getting through that article slowly.
