I wouldn't say that article (which was a great summary of nearly everyone's arguments on why they think Trump is racist) is proof or disproof if he is racist, but it is far closer to disproof than proof.
Unfortunately, the left uses claims of racism, sexism, etc so much that they have muddied up the waters and allowed real racists and sexist to fly under the radar because they get thrown in with people who aren't really those things. The left needs to come up with a system of these types of claim in the same way their are different types of murder (1st degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, etc).
ie:
Bill's roofing is refusing to work on the roofs of Asian homeowners. Bill is a 1st degree racist.
Mary is a huge supporter of voter ID laws and raising the minimum wage. I'm not sure if she realizes it or not, but those laws disproportionately hurt African Americans and that is why I think Mary should be charged w/ involuntary racism.
When you don't label Bill's actions as far worse than Mary's it makes Mary seem worse than she is and Bill doesn't seem as bad as he really is.
