ESA Rebukes President Trump [Jan 12, 2018, 10:54 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The Entertainment Software Association has stepped into the fray with President
Trump after his
widely reported comments about immigration where the POTUS allegedly decried
those who emigrate from "shithole" countries.
Polygon has the following response from the ESA:
"America’s greatness is built on our diversity," reads the ESA’s statement. "The president’s repulsive comments undermine the fundamental values of who we are as a country. There is no place in our society for this type of backward thinking, and we condemn it in the strongest terms."

my thing... even if he called Haiti a shithole, how is that racist?
He was complaining about the people coming from the "shithole" countries, not the countries themselves. If he hadn't been talking about immigrants, but say, infrastructure or crime rates, you might have a point there. It would still be wildly inappropriate, but it wouldn't necessarily be racist.
But as with everything, context matters. He was talking about immigrants, and has a history of saying and doing things that could be construed as racist by a reasonable person.
You don't have to be spouting racial slurs and burning crosses to be a racist.
Do you have a single fact to back that up?
