It’s the little things that sometimes reveal far more about ourselves than we realize.
Or, as Bob Chipman put it on Twitter, “Most revealing quote EVER.”
Most revealing quote EVER.

To be clear, this is not about picking on one person quoted in Time. It’s about the casual assumption behind a key portion of the quote. See if you can spot it.
Shannon Goodin, 24, Owosso, Mich. A first-time voter who doesn’t consider herself a Democrat or a Republican, Goodin says Trump earned her support by being “a big poster child for change,” adding, “Politicians don’t appeal to us. Clinton would go out of her way to appeal to minorities, immigrants, but she didn’t really for everyday Americans.”
“Minorities.”
“Immigrants.”
“EVERYDAY AMERICANS.”
See the problem here?
How is this racist? Not ALL Americans are minority immigrants.
