Clearly, that's your opinion. However, if I think the current US administration sucks, that doesn't automatically extend into "all Americans suck." It means Bush sucks, in my opinion, and it stops there. I can't believe I am even having to clarify this argument...

Believe it baby, because you are missing the point entirely.
The issue isn't about xenophobia, or even racism its about people using the racist card to get out of having to defend a position or using it to attack someone else.
I showed how I could easily dismiss your stance as racist if I wanted to,
because you obviously think Mexicans are incapable of running their own country.
(AND JUST SO YOU GET THE POINT, I don't REALLY think you think that I am showing how it would be easy to twist what you said, call you a racist, and dismiss anything else you had to say)
