Donald Trump has attacked Mexicans as criminals. He has called for a ban on Muslim immigrants. He has wondered aloud why the United States is not “letting people in from Europe.”

Defying modern conventions of political civility and language, Mr. Trump is voicing the bewilderment and anger of whites who feel disempowered.

1. I find it disturbing that this sort of attitude still exists...

I work in healthcare and it is such a melting pot that I couldn't imagine feeling that way about all of these wonderful diverse set of individuals day in and day out.

I know its out there, but damn if it's not unnerving.
