tweets by trump be proclaimed by the media as RACIST TWEETS, given the vague definition and the misunderstanding of the meaning of the word, the misuse of the word by most people and the subjectivity of what denotes racism?

And the fact that no one really know what was in the heart of trump when he tweeted that....

Many people me included, do not believe the tweets were racist. At all. You disagree. Fine.

Is his racism like global warming...settle science with no room for debate, discussion or disagreement?

But should headlines consider the facts that:

You don't know what is in his heart.
Some people disagree.
The word is vague and often misused.

Should an honest journalist proclaim the tweets to be racist or perhaps say that,
"Trump tweets comments that some people think are racist"?

Instead of this, from CNN (duh)
