There are a lot of "inner city" areas that are not black. The "ghetto" has been
home to many underprivileged ethnic communities: black, jewish, italian, etc.
I suspect you might be racist if you think for a moment teh' donald meant black people.
And I suspect you shouldn't be making baseless and provocative accusations about people when you're speaking in absolute ignorance.
"What does that look like — 'political correctness' that doesn't go too far? Is it our complaint that 'illegals' shouldn't be used to describe people? Is it pushing journalists to say 'black kids' instead of 'inner-city youth' and other empty euphemisms for race and class?"

"Who woke up one morning and decided that it was a good idea to refer to minorities and low-income people as 'inner-city' and 'urban?'"

"Over the course of the presidential campaign, Donald Trump has repeatedly used 'inner city' as a synonym for black Americans ... 'I would be a president for all of the people — African Americans, the inner cities,' he said"

Furthermore, equating "inner cities" with "black people" isn't racist anymore than equating Asian's with an aptitude for mathematics is. It's a stereotype, and stereotypes aren't "racist." Racism is "prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior." The phrase "inner city" is a well-known example of political correctness, an attempt to reference the black community without saying "blacks," typically out of fear of being construed as racist.
Please don't attack myself nor any other members of the board in the future, particularly if for the reason that you "suspect" something about them, rather than "knowing" it. Especially if, again, your conclusion is based entirely in ignorance.
