Probably for this: "we skew white, male, and affluent. Those, as he sees it, are his people."
That appears to be an accusation of racism, sexism, and classism. He was in the public eye for decades, but didn't get those sorts of accusations until he dared to become involved in presidential politics.
The evidence points the other way. Just a few items, one for each accusation: He used to have a black girlfriend. He frequently put women in positions of power in his organization, and his campaign was the first successful one with a female campaign manager. When taking his wife out to eat at a fancy place, his own meal would be Diet Coke and a well-done burger with ketchup.
Fair judging standards should apply. The comment you made is clearly more applicable to the alternative: https://joebiden.info/
In typical Vox fashion, that article is really stretching to make a point.
A few examples:
- "Trump Management Corporation" accused of racism, not Trump himself
- Trump pays for ad saying “Central Park Five” should be executed. They were innocent. But apparently that's racist?
- In The Apprentice TV show, Trump said of a black person “You’re an unbelievably talented guy in terms of education, and you haven’t done anything. That's racist?
- Trump proposed idea for The Apprentice - “an idea that is fairly controversial — creating a team of successful African Americans versus a team of successful whites. Whether people like that idea or not, it is somewhat reflective of our very vicious world.” That's racist?
- Trump claimed, “I heard [Obama] was a terrible student. Terrible. How does a bad student go to Columbia and then to Harvard?”
He constantly aligns himself with racists and xenophobes and retweets their hateful posts and conspiracies, how is that not racist and xenophobic? He's just cunning enough to not say it all outright and I suspect his lawyers have taught him how to avoid those pitfalls.
