There is racism embedded in more fundamentalist strict far-right sects of the party, that's easy to agree on. I believe it is still transitioning away from many southern-style Republicans and the recent generation putting the final shovels of dirt on the segregationist roots.
But absolutely no, it as a party is not racist: it's more realistic and less afraid of the hard-racial truths the country faces, while meanwhile it's opponents, Democrats, act as if they do not exist or live in a fairytail world. Sometimes it's not easy to ask the hard questions that may raise eyebrows or upset feelings. Simple as that.
Quite the contrary. The Republican party opposes using racial preferences or in discriminating based on race.
But, we live in the real world. So if it is a fact that, for example, young Muslim men are the majority of terrorists blowing up buildings we should use racial profiling to protect the nation. That is common sense.
Like how this is put as well.
