    I dunno. I don’t think any politician can come back from dropping an N-bomb (Trump excluded). I’d like to think the b-word would be treated just as harshly, but I guess white people haven’t been scolded enough over it yet.

      One time when I was in highschool, a student said, in front of the principal, that he hopes trump would build that “beaner wall”, one of the other students confronted him, saying it was racist, the principal (a trump supporter, obviously) said “what’s racist about that?”

      The fact that this interaction has ever occurred on this earth leaves me with no hope that it would be treated as harshly.

          I won’t dox myself, but I will say the school went under literally right after I graduated due to a lawsuit, that principal is no longer allowed to run schools.
