you mocked them just the same.

I didn’t mock anyone. I use “Drumpf” the way the characters of Harry Potter use the term “He Who Must Not Be Named.” I do not intend to help Drumpf’s brand by sharing his name — which is also his company name — on repeat. Maybe if he hadn’t made that implicit association between name and company, I’d be more sympathetic. Unfortunately, he did. So here we are.

Attacking someone that way is no less racist

Ha — literally has nothing to do with racism or ethnicity, and also you can’t be racist against white people. That isn’t how power systems and privilege work. Further, you have no idea what my racial/ethnic background is. But regardless, here’s the sociological definition of racism:

Racism refers to a host of practices, beliefs, social relations and phenomena that work to reproduce a racial hierarchy and social structure that yields superiority and privilege for some, and discrimination and oppression for others. Racism takes representational, ideological, discursive, interactional,institutional, structural, and systemic forms. Despite its form, at its core, racism is constituted by essentialist racial categories that turn human subjects into stereotyped objects, and then uses those stereotypes to justify and reproduce a racial hierarchy and racially structured society that limits access to resources, rights, and privileges on the basis of race.

This one’s also good:

This is all beside the point, though, because nothing I’ve said regarding Drumpf has had any ties or relevance to his race except for how he uses his position of privilege to say abhorrent things about oppressed groups. None of that pertains to his name.

political out group.

The nominee of one of two mainstream political parties is now an out group? Or do you mean white people? Men? The rich? Unfortunately none of these meet the definition.

We’ll just have to agree to disagree.
