Because people use terms like racist and racism to bait people into a instant emotional reaction. They also do so in order to grab peoples attention. People that do so don't realize that they are very much creating a crying wold situation for themselves and others.

They're retarded. Look at the retard bellow that thinks a border wall prevents Mexicans from coming to America legally. In their minds it's impossible that Mexicans can go to a border crossing or port through legitimate means. They assume all Mexicans are criminals and must break the law to get to America. They love to project their own racism against their political adversaries that point out their stupidity.

Haven't heard that one before. I sure hope no one tries to push such a narrative, nonsensical as it is. What I have heard before is for example that suits are oppressive and indicative of white supremacy, so I wouldn't put it past liberals/leftists to also say something like this.

It's a matter of intent. The Mexican wall/fence, was meant to keep Mexicans and other south and central Americans out of the USA. Fences at home are meant for either decoration, to show property lines or to make it harder for criminals to get in.

This is incorrect. The wall is meant to keep illegals and drugs out. Not Mexicans.

Illegals from Mexico, south and Central America. They're the only ones south of the border of the USA that the fence would be for. Nice try

You're not going to keep illegal frenchmen or Egyptians or Chinese out of the USA with a wall on the MEXICAN BORDER. Don't play a fool.

But they are the ones illegally crossing over. We can’t just have everyone come in. There is rules to abide by.

Correct. However that's besides the point here. But thank you for essentially admitting it's to keep certain races out (Hispanics and other south American ethnicities). The wall was meant to keep those groups out, meaning the intent was racist, not the wall itself.

If you're referring to Trump's wall dividing the United States of America and Mexico, people consider it racist on the basis that the goal is to keep Mexican immigrants, particularly illegal ones, outside of the country. No one believes walls, in general, are racist.

Walls are not racist. Building walls to keep people out because of their ethnicity/origin is racist. It's racist to builf a wall to keep mexicans out just because they are mexican.

Don’t think we said walls are themselves racist. But a 3000 mile long wall that cuts through private land, deep water and canyons would be a stupid waste of money.
