    If a black republican ran for president I wouldn’t be asking to see his birth certificate.

    Racism-prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.

    Treating someone differently because of the color of their skin is racist. This is prejudice, which is racism regardless of your intention. Full stop.

        Right, the conditional for not asking was the…wait for it… Color of skin & political affiliation. That’s prejudicial shit. Intent doesn’t matter.

          The point is that nobody asks the white candidates for one. Equitable treatment is not assuming the american politician running for office was born somewhere else based on the color of their skin. Remember birtherism
