Alexandra Petri: These racist appeals do not work on me, because I am not racist

“I don’t think he’s racist. It’s just the far left trying to do anything they can to stop him.”

It is rude and wrong of people to insinuate that I am racist just because what motivates me to come to the polls are:

The mere fact that what inspires me to vote is the idea that the president wants to dramatically undercut the 14th Amendment doesn't make me racist.
