I've never thought Trump is a racist. I do think he is ignorant. By that I mean he has lived a life of privilege. He was born into a wealthy family, he went to the best schools, then he started his own business. He has no idea what it is like to struggle financially or to struggle to improve yourself and make something of yourself and he has no idea what it is like to be anything other than a wealthy white dude.
So, I don't think he is racist. I do think he looks a poor black people and, in not so many words, thinks to himself, "Why don't they just get a small loan of a couple million from their dad and start a business?"
Sexist, on the other hand, is a different story. He is no doubt a sexist.
