He made several race based assumptions about the Romneys and about people living along the Gulf Coast.
He did not. He made a statement insinuating Romney doesn't care about black people. Period. If you think that he's calling Romney a racist, I think it's open to interpretation, but I tend to agree. Calling Romney a racist may be wrong, it may be inflammatory, it may be stereotyping, it may be any number of things. but it's NOT racist. He was not saying anything about the inferiority of Romney's race nor anything about the inferiority about the race of blacks who live along the Gulf Coast. You people are just desperate to make a false equivalency because you can't stand it that bigotry has become a pillar of the GOP, but that's just the way it is.
You are the one who does not understand the full span of racism. You don't have to hate people of other colors to be a racist. You wanted the Merriam Webster definition and I posted it. The reporter's words were full of racist prejudice.
