Looks like it was well meaning. But it’s possibly the most unintentionally racist thing I’ve read this year, and boy that headline is a spicy one. It almost reads as an Onion article.

I found this bit particularly hilarious, it really captures the Trump spirit. Which is the writer’s point, it’s too easy to imagine this in Trump’s voice
