Minorities are not buying the latest attempts to label Trump a racist

Adam Mill:
...
For some time now, Americans have been concerned about the role political correctness plays in fomenting divisions within America. Political correctness has many definitions. But Americans increasingly see it as the art of contorting every conversation into a reason to be offended. Donald Trump is a magnet for P.C. outrage and this latest effort to interpret everything he says as a secret message to white supremacists is the “going nuclear” of the politically correct.

The study “Hidden Tribes: A Study of America’s Polarized Landscape,” quoted one of the liberal respondents, “I have liberal views but I think political correctness has gone too far, absolutely. We have gotten to a point where everybody is offended by the smallest thing.” Jamal, one of the African-American respondents, expressed dislike for the way people are defined by labels, and he resists defining himself in terms of race or gender.

As Reason magazine noted, 80 percent of Americans in general believe political correctness is harmful to our country. Surprisingly, these numbers are even higher among non-whites. The Atlantic, meantime, found that 82 percent of Asians, 87 percent of Hispanics, and 88 percent of Native Americans perceive political correctness as a problem. Three-quarters of African Americans also oppose political correctness.

Perhaps the most shocking and surprising result may be found in a recent Zogby poll finding a whopping 49 percent of Hispanics approve of the job Trump is doing. A subhead in the Zogby poll reads, “Trump is winning urban voters and has record support with African Americans.”

How is it possible that an alleged white supremacist president could draw “record support” from African Americans? It’s a strong indication that the Left’s effort to paint the president as a racist is failing. While these results may seem totally counterintuitive to those drunk on the nectar of the popular narrative, the results should not be a surprise when one considers the impact of unrestricted immigration on these communities.

For the first time in decades, America’s historically under-employed are seeing unemployment decrease to a point where wages are rising. The most direct threat to the upward-trend of wage growth, of course, is unrestricted admission of new workers competing for those same jobs. Trump’s efforts to protect these wage gains by limiting immigration has a considerable impact on the elites who depend on cheap labor to sustain their lifestyle. Perhaps it’s why cries of “racism” by these elites do not seem to resonate outside their own circles.

There is more.

I deal with people of various ethnicities on a daily basis and I just do not see the kind of alienation that is projected by the media.  I think they probably see the same thing I do, that those pushing this narrative are talking trash and are not being honest.
