Hard to follow some of the quoting as not easiest at times on this forum, but while I certainly think Trump is making bigoted statements:
It's easy enough to follow if the poster knows what he's doing.
Trump looks to be blaming the Mexico government for allegedly sending criminals / rapists etc over.

I can't see in the quotes that Trump has implied that Mexicans are less than human - he is saying that the government is somehow ensuring that those who come across are criminals / rapists etc, but that is only covering those coming over, not all Mexicans, plus I didn't think that criminals were necessarily less than human, unless everyone in prison is less than human (I have a slightly different view on rapists).


Which is exactly my point. These people are taking upon themselves the right to define what a person's words mean. In their eyes Trump = Racist, so anything he says is automatically racist.

And rape is an insane problem among all immigrants, compounded by the general reluctance of women from non-Western cultures to report rapes. Hmong and Mexicans have been committing gang rapes all out of proportion to their numbers, while the media refrains from mentioning their countries of origin, uses their names as little as possible and ignores their immigration status, and at the first opportunity, digresses to discuss fictional rapes, like UVA & Duke. People who call Western Civilization and white males "rape culture" and entitled patriarchists have no idea what they are talking about. We're the ones who let women vote and drive cars after all. Outside of the most Western-influenced parts of the world (i.e. the better parts of the Pacific Rim), it is nothing BUT rape culture. India, the Middle East, South East Asia, Africa and Latin America all have the "she was asking for it" mentality, they start in when the girls are 13 or younger, and the women keep their mouths shut or hold the girls down.

And yes, these are specific crimes with which it might not be "right" to label an entire group, but they are far more representative of the behaviors of third world cultures than the sorts of things that get applied en masse to Christians or white people or gainfully employed individuals or gun owners or police officers. If you think a white male is being entitled because he thinks he has the right to debate a woman or person of color, what about a brown man who thinks he has the right to any woman whose knees or shoulders are visible, or whose parents cashed his check? And throughout the Western world, native judiciary systems are letting things like this slide on the grounds of cultural differences or language misunderstandings, or because the women did not fight back hard enough.
