1. Who said you liberals get to define racism?Obviously we have too many government workers if they have the free time for crap like this.Inside the Government's Racial Bias Case Against Donald Trump's Company, and How He Fought It
"NEW YORK — When a black woman asked to rent an apartment in a Brooklyn complex managed by Donald Trump’s real estate company, she said she was told that nothing was available.
"A short time later, a white woman who made the same request was invited to choose between two available apartments.
"The two would-be renters on that July 1972 day were actually undercover 'testers' for a government-sanctioned investigation to determine whether Trump Management Inc. discriminated against minorities seeking housing at properties across Brooklyn and Queens."What role should government play in protecting society from racist crony- capitalists?Obviously we have too many government workers if they have the free time for crap like this.
Inside the Government's Racial Bias Case Against Donald Trump's Company, and How He Fought It
"In the July 1972 test at Shorehaven Apartments in Brooklyn, the same superintendent who had rejected the black woman told the white woman who came later that she could 'immediately rent either one of two available apartments,' according to testimony.
"The tests played out across Queens and Brooklyn and revealed a pattern, the housing activists said in court filings.
"White testers were encouraged to rent at certain Trump buildings, while the black testers were discouraged, denied or steered to apartment complexes that had more racial minorities, according to the testimony."
2. Even if we accept your definition, racism is not illegal.
