So you mean when most people were racist, his staff were racist (Not him in particular)?
No, I mean Trump in particular. Hence why I quoted the topic title "Is trump actually racist" and answered with "Yes."
But here's another except from the politifact page:
In 1973, Trump, as a 27-year-old, was president of his father’s realty company, Trump Management. It operated nearly 40 apartment buildings, mostly in New York City. By all accounts, including his own, Trump was a hands-on president and very active in managing the day-to-day business operations.
In other words, any policy that outlined discrimination towards applicants who were anything other than white would not have been enforced without "hands-on" Donald Trump's awareness, if not without his explicit consent/orders.
So he was racist back when it was pretty much 'acceptable' to be so? ---
