"not fond of diversity" falls under racist, so im glad we agree he was racist. I mean, starting your career witht he stated goal for much of the start of your career being to keep segregation alive because you dont want your white child growing up in a "racial jungle" (his words) absolutely qualifies as racist, and honestly that word for him is an understatement.
While he now has the good sense to hide his racism, and he exploits minorities instead of oppressing them publicly, anyone who pays attention to his slips ups can see he is still the same old racist joe today.
