I myself am completely anti-PC but there is a difference between not being PC and just being vulgar. The man is without an ounce of class, is only semi-literate and has no grasp of international politics. I would go out on a limb here and say that his vulgar remark wasn't necessarily racist, he didn't refer to the people living in those countries but more to the way those countries are run, corrupt to the core, but it could have been a little more elegantly expressed. He exacerbated the racist attribute of his remark by saying he would prefer more people from Norway, why anybody living in Norway would want to live in the USA is beyond me.

 

I agree that, on its own, this remark is not necessarily racist. But taken in the context of his past remarks and actions on the issue, and the fact that he added the part about Norway, this latest remark is clearly a window into his racist true self.
