We have a saying over her, nor sure if you guys stateside will be familiar with it.
It's called whataboutery. It's used when someone is faced with an argument they don't like and numerous examples of incidents they can't seem to condemn.
So instead of condemning, they see fit to bring up other bad things happening in the world despite having little relevance, all the while refusing to see the evidence staring them in the face.
Aye, but what about this eh ?
And what about that as well ?
Wow The Terra Prime party has started already?
Buy a gun, learn how to use it this is the only language such people understand. If anyone steps to you to try anything violent , let them chew the bullet and claim 'Stand your ground'.
Labeling Trump supporters as racists failed. You might want to try another tactic.
I guess that is a good mantra if you want to turn a blind eye to events that don't fit your argument and just flat out ignore them.
And protests aren't going to convince anyone but will just feed into the media, while disrupting businesses, hurting everyone.
Don't any of you remember how Picard brokered treaties and opened minds? it's certainly not by coming into situations with a warlike mentality and repeating chants..
Yeah, I remember how Picard went to the Romulans and said, "listen, we're gonna build a wall, a yuuuuge wall, it'll be the best wall, and I'm gonna make Romulus pay for it!"
That seems unfair to Klingons. At least they have honor. 
I have read that people think that Trump will be bad to non-white people. This how analyze what Trump has said about various minorities:
Hispanics: He was calling illegal immigrants rapists, drug dealers and criminals. This doesn't describe all Hispanics, just illegal Mexican immigrants, and even then, that doesn't describe all illegal immigrants. In summary, he is only against illegal immigration.
African-Americans: He really hasn't said anything bad about them. However, he has said that he supports stop and frisk, which some critics could argue as racial profiling, and it would likely lead to it.
Muslims: Initially, he said he would prevent all Muslims from entering this country. However, at the debates he said that he would instead support extreme vetting, which I think is the best option.
LGBT: This is a group that he really hasn't talked about. As a result, I think that their rights are safe. Also, it should be remembered that a major Trump supporter who spoke at the Convention was Milo Yiannopoulos, who is gay.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, Trump plans to cut corporate taxes to get companies to build factories, especially in cities like Detroit, and this will help bring jobs to not just not white people, but all people.

Some Trump supporters are racist they even claim to wear the badge with pride
Rational mindset of not approraching with a warlike mentality is met with mockery.
And Picard enjoyed talking about grabbing Romulan pussy and seeing ten year old girls as potential future dates
We're deplorables...if you're going to insult at least get it right. It was a good enough term for Hillary to use.
Yeah racists are deplorable - wear your badge... own it!
Trump wasn't using "tactics." He was shooting from the hip.
Simmer down guys. You'll get the thread locked.
He wants to deport ~12 million people. I'll give you a little hint on this: there is no humane way to undertake such a massive operation. So he will either have to give up on that pretty quickly, or we'll be seeing a lot more misery.
And how easy do you think it is to spot an undocumented immigrant? Do you think they wear hats announcing it? They don't. This means Latinos and anyone mistaken for being one is likely to be harassed and abused just for how they look. In fact, this is already happening. People who voted for Trump out of racist beliefs now feel vindicated. They are going after people of color.
See above, and stop-and-frisk is an illegal invasion of civil rights. It's not a minor quibble. It was and is a racist policy.
We already had "extreme vetting." What's gonna do, add another X or two to it?
He wants to ban Muslims from entering this country indefinitely.
First off, Milo is a terrible example to use in anything except as a portrait of human awfulness.
Second, while Trump himself has had little to say about LGBT issues, his Vice President is an ardent gaybasher who believes in conversion therapy, which kills people. His government is likely to be full of similar folks, and given that he doesn't seem to care about LGBT issues at all, they will have a free hand to oppress and injure.
People who believe this are going to be very disappointed.
Corporate profits were at an all-time high before Trump won. Taxes are not why they don't build here.
I hope someone is nearby to help you if you have a stroke.
Well they obviously did not help you with yours... explains a lot. Enjoy your KKK wet dream for the next 4 years
