You Are Still Crying Wolf

I tend to agree with this article; I don't think Donald Trump, a New Yorker and a businessman, is a racist.

However, the people who he surrounds himself with, are. This article makes no mention of Steve Bannon, who suggested too many Asian CEOs is a threat to civic society [0], and ran a website that peddled anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim conspiracy theories. Come January 20th, he'll be the chief strategist for the nation's highest office.

Nor does it mention Kris Kobach, the Kansas Secretary of State who has ties to white nationalist groups [1]. He's now on Trump's transition team.

I don't doubt Trump's intentions, but it's looking like the alt-right is using his campaign (and will use his administration) for their own ends.

Not renting apartments to black people is not racist? Proposing a ban on Muslims is not racist? Fear mongering about Mexican immigrants is not racist? Assigning strategic roles in his new admin to the likes of Bannan and Horowitz is not racist? Also, he's got 400 lawsuits against him including the fraudulent Trump University. That last point does not add to his racist credentials but surely it does undermine the notion that he has any moral standing by being a "businessman from New York"

I feel like you either didn't read the article or completely missed its point.

But to answer your four questions, none of those things are racist. Two of them are discriminatory, one is addressed directly in the article and the last one is plain and simply concerning, but it's not racist.

Again, not defending them, just recontextualizing. You're doing exactly what the OP is calling out: Painting everything as racist rather than attack the actual issues. This is how we got in this mess.
