WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump has said he was not a racist after he was criticized over his "sh**hole" characterisation of African countries. "Nah, I'm not a racist. I'm the least racist person you have ever interviewed, that I can tell you," a report in the Washington Post quoted Trump as saying.According to people present in the Oval Office meeting last week, Trump was frustrated that migrants from El Salvador, Haiti and certain African countries were allowed into the US. "I'm sorry, but they cannot be defined as anything other than racist. "DACA is probably dead because the Democrats don't really want it, they just want to talk and take desperately needed money away from our Military," Trump tweeted.
