Give me your views, i like to see what people watch or read. Just a few short years ago calling someone a racist was one of the worst things you could call someone, now it seems to be the default insult and used with no proof
I think it's quite plain. Years ago, as you said, calling someone a racist was one of the worst things one could accuse a person of. It still is. However, at the moment, we live in a world where showing tendencies towards racism seems to be ok behaviour. Consequently, the accusations gets bandied around a lot more. Racism is still totally unacceptable.
Examples of evidence of Trump displaying a racist or xenophobic attitude:
Referring to Haiti and African nations: Why are we having all these people from ****hole countries come here?" And that Haitians 'all have AIDS'. Trump called for less immigration from Haiti and Africa and more from Norway.
'On Mexicans: "They are not our friend, believe me. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people." [whoopie]
Nigerian immigrants wouldn't ever "go back to their huts" in Africa.
To Navajo Code Talkers: "I just want to thank you because you're very, very special people. You were here long before any of us were here, although we have a representative in Congress who, they say, was here a long time ago. They call her 'Pocahontas.' But you know what, I like you because you are special. You are special people."
"Laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that."
In 1989, Trump took out ads in New York newspapers urging the death penalty for five black and Latino teenagers accused of raping a white woman in Central Park; he argued they were guilty as late as June 2019, more than 15 years after DNA evidence had exonerated them.
Trump said a federal judge hearing a case about Trump University was biased because of the judge’s Mexican heritage
.
He has also claimed, without evidence, that migrants were/are carrying diseases into the USA.
He spent years suggesting that the nation’s first black president was born not in the United States but in Kenya, a lie that Trump still has not acknowledged as such.
In 2017, on the UK, Trump said: Just out report: "United Kingdom crime rises 13% annually amid spread of Radical Islamic terror." Not good, we must keep America safe!
He is quick to highlight crimes committed by dark-skinned people, sometimes exaggerating or lying about them (such as a claim about growing crime from “radical Islamic terror” in Britain). He is very slow to decry hate crimes committed by whites against dark-skinned people (such as the killing of an Indian man in Kansas recently)
.
He called Puerto Ricans who criticized his administration’s response to Hurricane Maria “politically motivated ingrates.”
He called some of those who marched alongside white supremacists in Charlottesville, Va., last August “very fine people.”
After David Duke, the former leader of the Ku Klux Klan, endorsed him, Trump was reluctant to disavow Duke even when asked directly on television.
Trump hired Steve Bannon as his campaign head and later White House chief strategist. Under Bannon’s leadership, the website Breitbart made white nationalism a central theme. It featured a section, for example, on “black crime.”

I'm nowhere near half-way finished on the examples. But even the keenest has probably stopped reading by now. These are not my opinions, but copied and pasted from verified reports of Trump's words and deeds. I really don't think one can be confused by Trump. He's a racist, a xenophobe, is totally disrespectful to other people's, regions, cultures and nations. And he has totally degraded the office of President of the United States.
o you want your usual, sir?
