The word "shithole" isn't racist. And any of my Haitian neighbors will confirm, anywhere you go in Haiti, you put your life in your hands if you try to drink tap water, which by common definition is what makes a place a shithole.

That's not the issue. Ok. Haiti is a shithole, which is why my city is full of Haitians taking any work they can and sending money home to make the country fit for safe human habitation.

What Trump was saying is that because Haiti is a shithole, my Haitian neighbors should be rounded up and sent back there, and prevented from what they're currently doing for their country with remittances from the US.

There is no way to explain that comment as anything but pure distilled racism.
