He did not even refer to literal Romani. The immigrants he is talking about hail from entirely different parts of the world, and notice the plural. He used that analogy because of their behavior, not because of their ethnicity. Deporting people because of their deplorable behavior is not racist, and people who say that it is devalue the word racism.

Despite it being so common, I'm still bewildered by people wearing their racism like a badge of honor, while at the same time trying to discredit the term so that no action can ever be described as such. Like, pick one, not both.
