Why is the word "racist" used when this is about someone's country of origin? Is AOC a "woman of color"? I thought she is a Yankee white chick whose ancestors were from Puerto Rico. He doesn't like their hatred of USA and that has nothing to do with their color or genetics.

He doesn't like foreigners breaking the law and coming across our borders either yet this is somehow convoluted into accusation of racism. Frankly, I thought most Mexicans and Central Americans were white.

It's similar to people calling Trump "racist" because he's not in love with Islamic Fundamentalist. That has nothing to do with anyone's color or race but only their philosophy and beliefs. They believe it is their mission to subjugate, enslave or kill everyone who isn't Muslim. They come in a variety of colors. They have chosen to be our enemies. How is that racist?
