Have you checked the figures? Do Mexican illegal immigrants feature highly in crime numbers? I wouldn't be amazed if this were the case.

Blunt, definitely. Inelegant, absolutely. Rude? Possibly. Racist? No.
Well, first of all, Trump's comment makes it clear that he assumes the majority of Mexicans living in America are criminals, so much so that he felt the need to point out that he assumes 'some are good people'. I think that most people would see that sort of assumption as falling pretty firmly in the 'racism' category.

Secondly, I asked for a credible source with a rational, objective argument. Forgive me for not considering Trump and his statements to be quite that.
