Question:
Should I be offended?
anonymous
2016-02-22 16:31:20 UTC
I am Hispanic and I have many friends of different races. One of my friends, who is white, is voting for Donald Trump. She knows how Donald Trump feels towards different races, such as Hispanics, yet she is still voting for him? I made a joke to her about it, and she told me she was voting for him so he could 'Make America Great Again'.

Is this something I should be offended by? Should I confront her about it? All my friends, who are not white, have been talking about it. We know we shouldn't let politics ruin our friendship, but maybe it's for the best?

First of all, Hispanic isn't a race it's an ethnicity. Depending on where you're actually from, your race could be white. Donald Trump has yet to say anything racist. You could argue that he's said things very discriminatory and prejudiced, but not racist. Stop claiming that everything is racist, I really get annoyed by people like you.



Secondly, politics shouldn't play any role in your friendship with someone. If someone is truly a friend, you should be able to share and argue your different opinions and still be just as close of friends as you were before you debated. Someone that doesn't want to be my friend just because I support someone that they don't isn't someone I would want to be friends with, but that's just me.



Lastly, if you want to be offended then go right ahead. Guess what? You being offended has literally no impact on anything. Nobody on the entire planet cares that you're offended. It's called the real world.

Should you be offended? That is your choice; entirely up to you. However, it would be very immature of you to let this come between you and your friend. Many people believe that Trump would be an amazing president. Also, many people believe that immigration levels are too high and it is having a negative impact on the economy and human relations. The things he said about keeping illegal immigration at bay is a good thing. If you don't want to go through the process to be a legal citizen then you don't belong here regardless of your background and how good of a person you are, it is that simple. If you came here to be pandered to because of your race, then you've got problems. Sorry but people like you are what's wrong with America and the UK. Too many people like you believe that you can't have an opinion if it offends someone (thought crime) , so either crawl back to your little safe space at your university or grow the hell up. It is that simple. Either that, or get the hell out of our country.

You are mixing up a lot of different ideas and issues. You may be offended by Trump, but what exactly has your friend done to offend you beyond exercise her legal right to support a candidate. Should other people be offended if you support someone else? If you suspect your friend is a racist or want to know if she supports and approves of Trumps comments about illegal immigration, then you may have an open political conversation where you ask questions, listen to answers, and express your own views.





Sometimes we hold an idea, opinion, or belief so strongly that we cannot tolerate people with an opposing view. If everything you know about your friend is completely negated by her support of Trump, then you probably don't have much of a basis for an on-going friendship. Other people can respect and even enjoy or appreciate other people's views without agreeing with them. You just have to decide.

being offended is your choice, however I find it shallow that you would allow that to come between you and your friendship with her. Trump would be an amazing president, she is smart, the things he said about keeping illegal immigration at bay is a good thing. If you don't want to go through the process to be a legal citizen then you don't belong here regardless of your background and how good of a person you are. You don't like him cause he'll send your illegal homies asses back to Mexico. He's not wrong she's a smart woman who should be the first female president and you're ridiculous for having a ego So big that you can't be friends with anyone who doesn't agree with you if you came here to be racially patronized and consoled you're an idiot. Sorry but people like you are what's wrong with America. You can't have an opinion offends someone (thought crime) get off your high horse and grow the **** up.

Trump is pandering to a constituency. He needs to get elected to do anything. Same with all the other candidates. Between Trump and a fundamentalist evangelical Christian, I'd rather have Trump. He is not as frightening. Unfortunately the democrats have 2 large hills to overcome, the opinion polls on Obama and lack of depth in the down-level offices. When the congress is in trouble and the president has a low opinion level the president's party doesn't have much of a chance historically.

Nah, he can't offend you. You're OK. And a friend that would lose you, or you lose a friend wasn't much of a friend anyway.

As someone who is Hispanic, despite my complexion making others think differently, I would never be offended by someone else having a political opinion and voting for who they think is best, even if I think their choice is bad for whatever reason. I'm not even offended by Trump for that matte, because although he was ungraceful in saying it there are bad people coming from Mexico into the states usually a part of Cartels and wreaking Havoc in the border states amongst the legal and illegal populations there both hispanic and non-hispanic.



But again, no you should not be offended it's their opinion, and they're your friend. Now you can think their opinion is dumb/disagree but you shouldn't be offended, just like they shouldn't be offended if you said you were voting Cruz or Sanders and they thought your choice was a bad one.

Why aren't you paying attention to what Trump says. He says he feels negatively towards illegal citizens and business being done incorrectly. You should only feel offended if you're associated with a group like ms-13, the mexican mafia, the bulldogs etc. Because that's who he insulted.



You think you're a hard core vato with tear drops tattooed on his eye? You got a condo in oakland or somethin? You black panthers? What's your marks? How many people have you shot? Robbed?



If you don't know that stuff than you shouldn't feel offended you should feel fortunate someone like Trump would get in at all. He will enable unions, rebuild the entire economy globally, draw in millions and millions of jobs and raise the average wage without raising the minimum wage.



If anything she should feel offended you are getting defensive. You look like a shady tweaker with that attitude. You jesse pinkman? You like walter white? Well stop scaring her if you're not.

Friendship is something to be valued and what makes a good friendship is how much people accept others for things they don t personally like. That s true love and friendship. Only being friends with people who agree with you all the time and only enjoy the things you like tends to reflect more self-centeredness. I think Trump is an absolute ***. I personally don t like anyone on either side. I tend to think the Dem/Rep are two sides of the same coin and I have strong feelings about this, but at times, those feelings have gotten in the way of love for another person. And there is absolutely no excuse for that. If you want to look at this on an even bigger scope, I would argue that there is never a need to ever get offended by anything from anyone. The whole reason anyone would do anything to hurt you in the first place is because they are hurt and they are suffering. So we have the ability to love those who spit in our faces and accept those who want to take advantage of us. It s a hard thing and most think that s completely ridiculous, but this can and most definitely will change the world.

Yes, you should feel offended. Your ethnicity is Hispanic, and she's knows how Donald Trump feels towards Latinos. Your "friend" is dumb for saying that she's going to vote for him. You better end your friendship with a person that doesn't respect your race. Also, Donald Trump mostly complains about the illegal Mexicans, but you still have the right to be offended.

2016-02-23 12:05:23 UTC
Donald Trump does not think negatively about other races per se, if that is what you are inferring. He simply recognizes that there are a number of issues in the United States and throughout the world such as illegal immigration, outsourcing of jobs, and foreign policy, among other issues. When discussing these issues, of course there will be mentioning of the identity of these people, as I would not know how one could word it any other way, but his intention is not to offend people, especially on the basis of their racial or ethnic identity.



I am a non-white individual myself, and I do not find anything offensive about him and nor should you. His views on Hispanics are strictly towards those who are illegally in this country, but he does not hate Hispanics. And frankly, I feel the same way about immigration, so this is not about race, this is about doing what is right. Though after seeing his Nevada town hall meeting last night I began to question whether or not he would truly be free from special interests, as his stance on Israel is no different than other presidents, and his daughter is married to a Jew. So this goes without saying that there could be a conflict of interest with regard to Jewish matters in the Middle East, which affects all of us one way or another.

I hate "should I be offended about..." questions. Either you are and are looking for affirmation, or you're not and people are telling you that you should be. Which is it?



As for Mr. Trump, he's not "against other races" necessarily, but does have a serious issue with illegal immigrants, particularly those who enter this country then expect to be taken care of while citizens continue to work and pay taxes. Many illegal immigrants don't work, and those who do send all their money home - money that is often paid under the table and not taxed like the rest of us. Also, Mr. Trump realized that we need to take care of our own in this country and get the ridiculous national debt under control. You can't do that while giving hand outs to every Tim Dick and Harry and their countries.



But no, there's no need to confront anyone here. She has her opinions just as you do, and may think and vote however she likes - same as you.

As others have already mentioned, Hispanic is not a race. There is also a huge, HUGE misconception among some people that

Hispanic = Illegal Alien.



Donald Trump isn't anti Hispanic, he's anti Illegal immigration, there's a big difference.



Many Hispanic Americans are also

against Illegal Immigration. Just because a person comes from a Spanish speaking background doesn't mean that they automatically sympathize for Illegal aliens.



Millions of Hispanic Americans have ancestral roots in the U.S that go back for centuries and never crossed any borders. They are as American as anybody else and most of them don't like illegals either. If someone wants to immigrate they should do it legally. That's the biggest issue.

It's up to you to be offended or not. I wouldn't confront her because she probably knows how you would feel due to your ethnicity, & if somehow she doesn't, I don't think it would change her mind as most people into politics think a lot about it. And, feelings could be hurt by a huge row. Feelings would probably be less hurt if you just colded her out, which she probably expects you to do. She doesn't sound like much of a friend to a Hispanic person; are you sure she really is one and not just a so-far-polite social acquaintance?

2016-02-24 07:21:46 UTC
Trump talks about illegals and law breakers, not a whole race or ethnicity. There must be a way to weed out the baddies and let the good guys come in.

If you or your friends are offended, either you're not listening or have a different agenda other than making America safe.

Don't let the political season cause you to lose a friend. Forgivness is the greatest gift you can recieve or give. A friend is a friend, is a friend, and may have a different opinion than you, but true friends are hard to find. Race or color has no part to do with your friendship. why bring this into the picture. There are those that would try there best in politits to divide and agitate by using the race card to further there own political benifit. Try not to listen to there message and think for yourself as to what is right. If you look for the good you will find it. If you look for the bad you will also find it.

I wouldn't be offended as such, just disappointed. She clearly doesn't know that he's an ignorant buffoon entirely unsuited to running a fridge, never mind a country. She has no idea how many times he's been bankrupt, but only kept going because his father kept throwing money at at. If he gets elected, she'll learn. You all will.



But I doubt he'll get elected. There are enough intelligent people over there to prevent that from happening, and if it does happen, there are enough guns floating around and enough crazy people to sort him out good and proper.

Sounds like your friend is a dumb ***, and honestly of you were friends and didn't have a problem that stay friends, as long as she doesn't repeatedly say something to you about that isn't in a joking matter, bc everyone makes fun of there friends in someway, but you can go too far, people today are just too worried about offending other people, being offended or looking for every possible reason to sue someone, that they don't just appreciate their relationships with people, so yea stay friends with her, your friendship shouldn't be ended bc who she voted for

Yes! Being offended is a logical, proper response! He offends me. He proposed building a wall to keep out desperate people--and kick out millions of decent people off safe American ground. He would punish illegal immigrants (most of whom are not bad people) worse than the government and industry criminals who corrupt our legal system, wreck our environment, and undermine human rights. And he'd do it while sitting in a gold and ivory tower somewhere in Las Vegas eating lobster and counting cash like some cheesy Disney movie villain. He admitted he might have supported Japanese-American internment in 1942. (In which, the American government kidnapped, robbed, and imprisoned 120,000 Japanese Americans in horse stalls following the bombing of Pearl Harbor). That should scare the crap out of every human. Okay, sure humans aren't Hispanic. Some humans aren't Japanese, Iraqi, Russian, whatever. Some humans live in America. Some humans don't live in America. But what Trump wants to do is wrong. It's wrong if you're white, black, tan, gay, straight, whatever. It's wrong over here. It's wrong over there. It is wrong everywhere. And until all us are safe, none of us are.

First off you are only focusing in on one of Donald Trumps opinions or comments which is very narrow minded of you. She is looking at the whole picture and with the good you have to take some of the bad. None of these people running is going to make everyone or anyone 100% happy. I'm not say I support Trump, but who someone else votes for is their opinion and right and really none of your business.



Also you should learn not to refer to people as "white" if you are trying to be so correct and use the correct terminology.



By the way, Trump is against ILLEGAL immigrants (as most are) which because of the borders happen to be Mexican. He isn't against the individual necessarily as much as you get these people over here taking jobs from legalized Americans who pay taxes.... and they don't, the majority don't even make an attempt to learn the language, not that is grounds to be upset!!!!!

I would have asked her what about American is not great. I think it's the greatest country in the world even though I despise most politics. Trump says things but never gives examples. He wants to replace Obamacare with Trumpcare but when asked what's Trumpcare about he never has an answer. He certainly hasn't had conservative behavior over his lifetime so how is he even a Republican. He thinks Hispanics bring drugs into the country, are rapists and there needs to be a wall built (by them) to keep them out. Yeah.....I would be offended.

No, Kay Kay, you should not be offended. First, because it does no good, in general. Second, because come the first Tuesday in November, Mr. Trump may not even be on the ballot. Third, because many forget that in her husband's first campaign, Mrs. Obama challenged the need to "make America great again," folk were offended, but it did not change a thing. Feel free to share your opinions with your friends; that is what they are there for. If your Trump friend decides to end the friendship because you responded with your thoughts on her thoughts, it is her loss, not yours. Peace.

If I were you, I honestly wouldn't. Donald Trump is aiming to remove all ILLEGAL immigrants. Donald Trump can have the right ideas sometimes, but he's REALLLY rude and desperately needs help with his hair. Don't get offended because of loser people like Trump. Try avoiding politics when you're with that friend.

Sure, you can be offended. I'm offended that somebody like Trump is actually a candidate in a presidential race. What a bad joke. But as to your friendship -- you probably need to think long and hard about just what kind of friendship you have. I guess hanging blacks fifty years ago could be categorized as "political views", too, or supporting Hitler and the Nazi movement was "political views", too....So each of us must decide whether or not we actually want to associate with people who hold extreme, harmful, bigoted political views.

Donald Trump doesn't hate Mexicans. He only wants to get control of the rampant illegal immigration that has been allowed to happen. There is nothing wrong with this. Every country enforces its own borders. You are choosing to see this as a racist issue when it's really a national security issue.



Your biggest problem though is that you are making politics to be a dividing line in terms of your friendships. What used to make America great was the fact that we didn't focus on the things that divide us. We focused on what we have in common. My daughter was a HUGE Obama supporter, and now she is losing her mind over Bernie. I have a choice to make. I can either let this cause division in our relationship, or I can push those differences aside and focus on the things that really matter.

The most successful presidential campaign ever was that of 1840 when most Americans voted for "Tippecanoe and Tyler too": it was a simple, catchy phrase (with alliteration, rhyme and assonance) with a "gentle" hint of racism, and it committed the victors to nothing whatever. "Make America great again" is equally simplistic, catchy and also promises everything and nothing: exactly what a politician wants. Your friend likes the idea so she goes along with it, as, I am very much afraid, will millions of her fellow voters in November. She may be gullible, stupid even, but she is not a bad person. There is an old rule about conversation at the dinner table being encouraged on any topic except sex, religion and politics. If you add "race", then it is an excellent rule, and not just for the dinner table. My daughter is so ardent a Conservative that she once gave me a biography of Margaret Thatcher as a present. My loving cousin is not just an atheist but one unable even to understand why anyone else could really hold any other opinion. My best female friend is a middle class Brazilian with the sort of instinctive racism that goes with the territory (she never met my now deceased Black wife!). One of my sons in law actually works for the Conservative Party, the other is a banker with a typical Wall Street approach to climate change, poverty and government. My best friend in NYC is the sort of Zionist who would dearly like Arabs to all disappear overnight, and does not know I was really close to a Palestinian family until they moved away and we lost touch, or that my parents were both staunch anti-Semites (of the "only thing that Hitler got right" variety). I am very curious as to where my kith and kin get their political ideas from, but I would never dream of wasting my time trying to convert them. And if I wanted as friends only those who agreed with me 100%, I would end up able to count them on the thumbs of one hand. .

Hispanic isn't a race, it's an ethnicity.



I'm latina/hispanic and I'm voting for Donald Trump. He doesn't hate Mexicans. He just states facts. Criminals, drug dealers, rapists etc are crossing the border and coming to America to corrupt our society. It's already happening in Europe (Russia, Sweden, France, Great Britian...) where muslim men are coming in as "refugees" (and welcomed with open arms) and killing and raping people. These damn men aren't stupid they see an opportunity to come in as refugees and they'll take it just to implement Sharia law (allows behendings, stonings, rape, and everything anti-western). Donald Trump wasn't saying that every Mexican, Muslim..immigrant, refugee is a bad person. He was focusing on what is taking place due to the refugee/imigrant crisis. Do you really want these people to come to America only to murder/rape innocent citizens?

Trump has a problem with illegal immigrants not different races. Dont get me wrong, I'm not a Trump fan, but you cant twist his words, I have a problem with illegals as well, but I also have plenty of different races for friends. If I were Hispanic I wouldnt be offended, but I tend to not get offended over things that I deem stupid. So it's your choice if it's worth it or not. She may just be looking at all of the candidates and thinking hes the lesser of the evils, I personally think Cruz is our best bet so far, but still. I dont think you should be offended. Especially if you werent born is Mexico or another Latin American country. Idk if you were, I'm just saying just in case.

Everyone has the right to their own political opinion. The problem with "The Donald " is he oversimplifies things so ordinary folks (like me ) will understand his views and doesn't hide behind politicians B.S. He doesn't hate Hispanics but simply wants to control immigration. Many people of all races have the same opinion.

No need to get offended . Maybe your friends should keep their minds open and not jump to conclusions.

2016-02-24 07:11:46 UTC
Don't be so utterly stupid, pay attention to what I write and learn something immensely valuable in the form of a list of facts which are astonishing but absolutely provable.



1. Islam is at war with the non Muslim world but our leaders are too stupid and ignorant to understand this.



2. The goal of Islam is to conquer every country in the world and to force Sharia law on everyone. Shari law will dictate every aspect of everyone's life in the world. That is their goal and they mean business.



3. If and when Islam becomes dominant where you are they will offer you three choices, convert to Islam and support among other things paedophilia. Accept Dhimmi status where you will be allowed to live in your own country in exchange for 50% of your income and you will be treated like a second class citizen and if you refuse that they WILL cut your head off.



4. Every Muslim has a religious duty to ensure no 3 happens.



5. There is no such thing as a moderate Muslim, they are liars practising Taqiyya which means sacred deception.



6. Muslims are not allowed to take non Muslims as friends unless it is to deceive them.



7. There are peaceful verses in the Quran but they have all been abrogated by the later violent verses which require Muslims to kill the infidel.



8. According to Islam Jews are directly descended from apes and pigs and Muslims are so stupid they actually believe this.



9. According to Islamic law it is acceptable to fvck a baby girl up the a.rse.



10. Muslims are allowed to fvck anyone who is not Muslim whether they like it or not, this includes women, girls, boys, camels, goats, donkeys, watermelons and dead bodies.



11. Everything I have written so far is true and can be easily proven.



12. 99% of Americans including politicians are ignorant of these facts



13. Donald Trump is one of the few Americans that has the wit to begin to recognise the very real threat against us and the ONLY potential future president with the balls to say so.



14. Islam is at war with the civilised world and they are winning that war, you have a president who is a liar, a traitor and a Muslim who is working from the inside to destroy your country..



15. If Islam is not stopped they will turn your country into a third world shithole.



16. At this time Donald Trump is your ONLY hope of salvation.

It's all surely subjective honestly. It's your own emotions, though she's your friend she has to take into perspective of the magnitude of Trump's statements. His statements are surely absurd and seem to the point that they're satire. May I say that since pranks have been in a while on the pop culture scene I kind of think he's gonna come out and be like "it's just a prank bro"

no. you should be offended by Hussein, a community organizer playing president who has set race relations in this country back centuries. the real issue with race is DEEDS NOT WORDS. by realizing that our president does nothing by the "if I had a son...." or the boston police fiasco, you have come along way toward realizing that we all can get along by not prostituting any race for a thirty second sound byte or the purchase of votes. Hussein is a con artist Marxist and liar who uses race at the drop of a hat to fill a skewed agenda. trump is a successful billionaire who at least understands the failure and cancerous nature of liberal psyche. he may not be a perfect choice BUT CLEARLY he is better than the liberal mess we have now.

Trump isn't anti "Hispanic", he is anti-illegal immigrant. He is advocating stronger borders and enforcement of the immigration laws of the United States. I don't think you should be offended. Obviously, your friend doesn't consider a vote for Trump to mean anything against you. So why take offense if non is intended.

BTW - I lived in Mexico as a legal immigrant for some time. I was treated fairly, but as I said, I was legally in the country. Those whites and others who were illegally in Mexico, were not treated anything like we treat the people who illegally enter our country. People who come into Mexico illegally (against Mexican laws) are arrested and jailed and then deported (quickly if they are lucky). Meanwhile, people who come into the US against our laws, are given free stuff, shielded by "sanctuary cities" and allowed to work and procreate. Definitely NOT the same thing.

If any of my white friends told me that i would unfriend them just like I'm unfriending anyone who is voting for trump. He is a racist and only cares about rich white upper class Christians. I'm on welfare...i get disability...trump wants to cut out all of that. If any of my friends vote for him they are basically saying that they don't care if i end up homeless and without the proper healthcare i need. Also if anyone i know votes for trump also hates Hispanics in my eyes...and if you hate Hispanics then you hate me...and if you dislike me then why should we be friends

If you take the time to listen, really listen to Trump's rants about what you refer to as racist ideas, you need to listen more carefully. Trump is not against all minorities, nope, not at all. He just wants to stop those who are sucking off the American taxpayer's backs and who are in the country illegally. Listen so you know what you are talking about.



Now, to eliminate a friend over your misunderstanding over what Trump actually means, then you would be the oe on the losing end.

If she went illegally into mexico she would be arrested. Is that racist too? Do you think Hillary Clinton is a better choice or communist bernie sanders? Not that Trump is great or anything. Jesus Christ is the truth. Jesus loves you. Read Romans chapter 5 and 8. Read John chapter 1 and 3. Get a king James bible and believe. "A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity."- the Word of God. Study the Word of God. Read Matthew chapter 7.

Don't listen to these morons. They're Trump supporting, racist bigots. ANYONE who supports Trump, especially for some vague reason like "he'll make america great again", is a complete moron, and TOTALLY ignorant and racist.



I would still respect a Trump supporter, but I wouldn't think highly of them and I wouldn't be friends with them.



Not saying that's what you should do! You know her better than I do. She could be nice in other ways...

I suggest you avoid discussing politics. Everyone has an opinion and you don't have to agree with anyone.

I don't care for Donald Trump- he's pandering to his audience and using outrageous statements to scare people. He hasn't served one day in elected office- not even dog catcher. Those opinions aside, agree to disagree with your friend. Even if Mr. Trump does get elected, he has to work with Congress. Compromise is part of our political system. Mr. Trump is used to getting want he wants in his businesses, but he will find out it won't be easy. As for 'Making America Great Again'- I think America has always been great. There is more work to do, but I think we're doing alright.

It is best not to discuss religion or politics with anybody to avoid heated discussions. I don't think Trump hates Hispanics. I think he just doesn't like the ones who come here illegally. If you entered here legally and went the trouble to become a citizen. Wouldn't you be feeling some resentment? I would vote the person who tends to have almost the same values as you do.

Hola :)!... Yes, I'm Hispanic, too :)!... But not as ya might think; let me tell you this ->Hispanic is NOT a race, nor it is an ethnicity, since we dont have the same cultures and traditions (What the...!!), we're VERY different, although we're stereotyped; Hispanic is all about the languiage imposicion and a term given to us by U.S.A. because of this; like for example, I'm Black; what race are you!?; 'cause Hispanic is not, since it simply ain't a race!...



Secondly; I know we should respect everybody's beleif/s, yet we have a right to opine and have our thoughts about it/them; we dont have to agree to get along or/and respect each others; BUT, a thing like that one you're "friend" is doing, its gonna be done against you, it is not right, coming from someone you'd call a friend, unless you were wrong and she was doing the right thing or so; and it goes totally against us as Hispanics, too!...



Look; it is like when someone wanna kill you, and i know it, and still like that, i give him/her the gun and tell him/her where you are!; thats not being friend; sorry; but she ain't a friend for u, no matter what shes done for and to u in the past; thats not of a friend and most important, correct!...

Y'all gotta learn the real menaing of friendship!.

And, of course yes, that's offensive and disappointing from someone who think is a friend! ...Fvck that b¡tch!.



Donald is just plain ignorant, wrong thinking us Latinos are the ones who fvck up U.S.A.; he and all Americans supportin him should look themselves in a mirror!..



I know there are some Latinos who are sh¡t, but there are many uf us who are the sh¡t, such as it happenes to Americnas, too!. We are not all the same, his generalization is wrong, thats just hatred; how can't someone see it!!?!.



Donald is a fvcking discriminator hid in the sentence of "I want the best for my country!"; if he was, although, a bit intelligent, he'd know the way he wanna reach that is wrong, destructive, discriminating, derogatory for many, and people who support him would, too. SMH!...



A belief is a beleif, but in front of the truth it has nottin to do!.

There's nothing to get offended about. Donald Trump is not saying he has anything against Hispanics. That's a lie perpetuated by brainwashing media. He wants to deport ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. because they break the law by not going through the proper channels. The idea of exporting Hispanics is stupid.

First of all, Donald Trump isn't against Hispanics as a group. He's against anyone who enters the United States illegally! It doesn't matter if their Hispanic, Cuban, Canadian, Eastern Indian, European, etc.. Everyone immediately thinks of Mexico and its people when illegal immigrants are mentioned, simply because of the location to the US. Any Mexican citizen can simply just walk or drive across the US and Mexican border without drawing much attention. There's no plane ride involved from another county or continent where passports are needed and passengers on a plane are inspected and questioned. We are a country of laws. These immigration laws are in place to protect everyone inside our borders. It doesn't matter their religion, color, race, education, etc., just as long as they're here legally and obey the laws of the United States. I really don't believe you should be offended by your friends actions. Many people are afraid of anyone who might be located in the United States that is here illegally, and may be hiding or have something to hide. We have experienced quite a few attacks by foreigners from various countries who were here illegally. It's the United States Governments responsibility to protect its citizens, no matter what their race, creed, color or country of origin. Our government protects you as well as your friends. You should really forgive them and communicate with them to understand their feelings as well as expressing your feelings to them. You are important and should consider yourself to be just as important as any other citizen of the United States.

You are mixing up a lot of different ideas and issues. You may be offended by Trump, but what exactly has your friend done to offend you beyond exercise her legal right to support a candidate. Should other people be offended if you support someone else? If you suspect your friend is a racist or want to know if she supports and approves of Trumps comments about illegal immigration, then you may have an open political conversation where you ask questions, listen to answers, and express your own views.

There is a reason why Trump got more of the Hispanic vote than Cruz and Rubio combined in the last primary. There is a whole world of information out there that many are missing. Look it up. If you are a Republican, you are gonna be branded a racist. The only reason more of the Republican candidates have not been branded as such are that two of them are Hispanic and another is black.

You can have your own reasons for voting for a specific candidate. You don't even need to be racist or too religious to support them. I won't bore you with why Trump shouldn't be elected, so I'll stick to your question and give you the best answer I can.



It depends how your friend feels about the wall, she could be supporting him because of his knowledge on economics or he has good leadership qualities for americans. Your friend is just one person, as opposed to the KKK and other white supremacists groups backing him.



I would carefully approach her on why she likes him (privately if possible) if you really want to know and tell her about how you feel about it. Ultimately it's her right and decision on who she wants to vote for, but it doesn't exactly mean that it should ruin your friendship.

You have to question the racial sensitivity of anyone who supports Trump. I have no problems at all ending a friendship when my so-called white "friends"/classmates threw a hissy fit when President Obama addressed school children a few years back. To me, their disapproval stunk of racism, and I don't need those kinds of people in my life. Your "friend" has no regard for you and other Hispanic people, and she's showing it by supporting Trump. People's support of Trump goes beyond politics. It shows a dislike for anyone who is not white. Trust me, you'll be better off without her.

No politician gives straight answers. They are supposed to skirt around the question never giving an answer. So no Trump does not give straight answers. I believe people should not tell others who they are voting for because it brings turmoil to friendships. Your friend probably hasn't give followed Trump, read all news articles, watched all media, debates, etc. Politicians try to develop a catchy phrase and make you vote for them. They do not care how they get you to vote for them.

They're here to take advantage of all the freebess and free-rides America GIVES them. And, now, they want to be GIVEN amensty too. Me and all my hispanic friends know that unless we get things under control and deport all those immoral illegal aliens, they come from every nation on earth too, they'll destory our country especially our tax-paying middle-class. Wise-up America.

Jesus’ neutrality regarding the politics of this world was well-grounded in Scriptural principles. Consider just two.



“Man has dominated man to his injury.” (Ecclesiastes 8:9) That is how the Bible sums up the history of human rule. Remember, Jesus existed as a spirit in heaven long before he came to earth as a man. (John 17:5) He thus knew that man, however well-meaning, lacks the ability to care properly for the needs of billions of people; nor was he created by God to do so. (Jeremiah 10:23) Jesus knew that the solution to mankind’s problems lay elsewhere—not in human governments.



“The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.” (1 John 5:19) Do you find that statement startling? Many do. They think of sincere people who get involved in government because they want to make the world a better, safer place. Try as they might, though, even the most sincere rulers cannot overcome the influence of the one whom Jesus called “the ruler of this world.” (John 12:31; 14:30) That is why Jesus said to one worldly politician: “My kingdom is no part of this world.” (John 18:36) Jesus was the prospective King of God’s heavenly government. Had Jesus mixed in politics, he would have sacrificed his loyalty to his Father’s government.

< towards different races,>>



Really? She knows him personally? Who is your friend, and how does she know Trump personally?

More likely, she knows what Trump has said about his feelings towards those of other races, and who doesn't know about that?





< voting for him?>>



So am I

And it's not because we're racists. It's because we're aware enough to know that Trump, regardless of what he has said, is going to run this country like a business - and fix a lot of it's problems in the process. That, to me and a whole lot of other people, is more important that his off-the-cuff comments.





< America Great Again'.>>



So, long story short, you're offended because someone you know is a Trump supporter . . . as is her right you know. . .!

I don't think so. It is entirely within her right to be a Trump supporter, and proclaim so. Don't like it? Support the rival candidate.

At what point in history was "America Great"? Perhaps when foreigners came to the new world and Pioneered Industries off the backs of free labour foreigners. If you want greatness then find someone who highly esteems everyone the same.

Normally I would say that you shouldn't make such a big deal out of someone else's presidential candidate, but this is Donald Trump we're talking about.

Chelsea Clinton is good friends with Ivanka Trump, Donald's daughter. When asked about it, Clinton said that friendship is more important than politics. IMHO, we all should follow their lead.

It's a free country and your friends don't have to agree with you on everything. That would make life very boring.

First of all he is not against Hispanics, he is against illegal immigration. Stop being brainwashed by the i minute sound bites of the media. Most people want to do something about the prob.lem of illegal immigration including the other presidential candidates. You should not be insulted unless you are an illegal alien.

YOU NEED TO END YOUR FRIENDSHIP WITH HER OR SLOWLY DISTANCE YOURSELF AWAY FROM HER



BY HER VOTING FOR TRUMP MEANS SHE SUPPORTS HIM AND ALSO BELIEVES THAT YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE DONT BELONG IN AMERICA



SHE DISSED YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY

AND HOW CAN YOU STILL BE FRIENDS WITH SOMEONE WHO THINKS YOUR PEOPLE RUIENED AMERICA?



She said "I'm going to vote for Donald trump so he can make America great again"

Basically means "I'm going to kick your kind out of America so America can become civilized again "



And you wanna be friends with someone lone that

By you even asking that question

Shows that your offenders

You should be furious right now

I knew Donald Trump was one of the richest men on earth, but didnt know much more about him - but recently he's caused quite a stir with his anti-moslem comments and now, hes gone all out war on immigrants !



i think he's damaged his persona in some ways, but also hes won the hearts and minds of sympathists.



you see, sometimes its best not to speak whats on your mind and just keep quiet about it ^_^



other times, you just need to SPEAK ABOUT IT lol



my thoughts are, hes harmless - ignore him.



lol @ hispanic = illegal alien



: ))



thats so racist.



Hispanic chics are hot !

I suggest, if you are going to be offended by people whose politics are different than yours, that you talk only about non-political topics with your friends.

2016-02-23 04:08:26 UTC
This is an obvious troll post, but you do know there are hispanics who support Trump. I have hispanic friend who supports him because he agrees that ILLEGALS shouldn't have free reign on a country.

Donald just wants people to things the legal way. Just as Mexicans should want a hard *** to throw the Cartel out of their country for destroying it

I think you are talking about ethnicity not race. Generally speaking there are three races, Black, Asian and Caucasian. I am of Prussian and Swedish ethnicity, you are of Hispanic ethnicity--we are both Caucasian. Trump is outrageous by design and your friend is not thinking just parroting. Laugh.
?
2016-02-24 17:53:56 UTC
It is hard to find a candidate with whom you completely agree with. Unless she has openly expressed that she agrees with his opinion about your culture, she is most likely voting for him for other reasons. If Trump expresses an intention to treat Hispanics unfairly, you could discuss with her how you feel about her support of someone who is openly against other cultures, including yours. If you still feel uncomfortable, go ahead and talk to her. A true friend is not against you and is ready to reassure you of this.

2016-02-25 17:42:06 UTC
Well, you can't control what your friend does, but you can let her know that you think only an idiot would expect the donald to make America great again. And you can get smarter friends.

In my opinion I do think Trump is racist and inconsiderate, and everything he stands for is bull crap, but maybe your friend thinks otherwise. I think you should respectfully approach her about it and talk it over. If you don't like what she has to say then maybe you two should go your separate ways.

what makes America great is our ability to choose what ever we want. why would you deny that right to anyone? Let her vote for who she wants, just as you can vote for who you want. thats what makes America great. freedom. Free to choose what you want. Americans understand this. If you are an American, you should too. We all have different beliefs and passions. this makes a melting pot of America. Foreigners dont understand.

Ask yourself: how was did America become great in the past:



Answer: off the backs, sweat, blood, and tears of colored people.......who wants to go back to that.............we colored people know and deep down you know too!!!!
