I didn't call you a progressive, I said you AND the progs are trying to blame Trump for the insane notions that people are concocting about his plans. And you are. And it's asinine.

I SWAG, that looks just about right.
How, exactly, did they get this data?

Google search which doesn't mean $#@!. It doesn't say who is using it or what their intent for searching the N word is.
Okay just anti "undesireable" immigrant. Close enough to the same thing. I don't think someone is anti immigrant just because their oppose illegal immigration, but Trumps rhetoric is way over the top. I will agree immigration policy needs to be reformed but a wall or a ban list of people based on their religion is just nuts.
Does this mean that Google is somewhat racist by extension since this graph is a representation of their users' activity? What is Google doing to attract this user base?[IMG]

Really, a google search of the word '******' to determine racism? You realize that there are probably more rap songs with the word in the lyrics than there are white people who use it. It's more likely that people are on google trying to find the lyrics to 'that song they heard on the radio' than an indication of racism, lol.

They did attempt to disambiguate, and admit their study is not a perfect indicator:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...ing-to-google/For the PLOS ONE paper, researchers looked at searches containing the N-word. People search frequently for it, roughly as often as searches for "migraine(s)," "economist," "sweater," "Daily Show," and "Lakers." (The authors attempted to control for variants of the N-word not necessarily intended as pejoratives, excluding the "a" version of the word that analysis revealed was often used "in different contexts compared to searches of the term ending in '-er'.")

Why attempt to gauge racism by looking at google searches of a single word? What about black racism? Blacks are FAR more racist than whites on the whole. Somehow I doubt they'll try to gauge that.

They were building on a study involving black mortality rates:
In this study, we examined a previously developed Internet-based measure of “area racism” that did not rely on the provision of responses to survey questions and is less susceptible to social desirability bias; it may also more directly assess racial attitudes in a geographic area [23]. This measure, calculated based on Internet search queries containing the “N-word”, was strongly associated with the differential in 2008 votes for Barack Obama, the Black Democratic presidential candidate, vs. 2004 votes for John Kerry, the White Democratic presidential candidate. Studies have found that Internet searches on other subjects, including religiosity and firearms, reflect socio-demographic characteristics of the underlying population [24, 25]. For example, the percent of a state’s residents believing in God explains 65% of the variation in search volume for the word “God” [23]. Internet queries of health conditions have also been used for disease surveillance, including influenza outbreaks, and have been found to be a stronger predictor than pharmacy records [26, 27]. Socially unacceptable attitudes or actions may also be less likely to be censored on the Internet given perceptions of anonymity, and may in fact serve as an outlet for unpopular beliefs.

I don't think that Trump is a racist, but he clearly is happy for to get racists' votes.
Stop believing stupid things
His actual plans (or at least his statements thereabout, I don't think he has any plans, like a goldfish) are genuinely insane.
Like, for instance, deporting 10+ million people at a cost of hundreds of billions of dollars and mass civil unrest only to let 99% of them back in.
That's spelled with an "a."
In short, regardless of what Trump has actually said (or not said), people feel more comfortable being racist in an open, proud way than I've seen before. It's also an extension of decades of fighting racism by pointing the finger at other races, which is a bit like bombing to promote peace. It's not an encouraging trend to me. It's not Trump's fault, either. It's the inevitable result of what's been going on over the years coupled with a perceived positive connotation to "telling it like it is" on one side and becoming part of a "movement" on the other end of the spectrum. Then you have others saying the way to fight all of this is to make safe spaces and avoid certain pronouns, and to impose tolerance on the rest of the nation at whatever cost --- in dollars and dignity.
God help us all.
Genuine, willful, aggressive ignorance is the one sure way to tick me off. I wish I could say you were trolling. I know better, and it's just sad.
That's because, whatever Trump's own views on race (I assume they're quite mainstream, in a NYC context), he has intentionally exploited latent racist/nationalist sentiments in the GOP (fueled by the left's overreach on racial issues in recent decades) to drive his otherwise laughable presidential ambitions (or, assuming he's not totally delusional, self-promotional ambitions).
