There are two things that seem to accompany President Donald Trump in the Oval Office more than any other these days: Diet Coke and racism. It’s a doozy, and it’s worth reading NBC’s full account of the exchange:“Where are you from?” the president asked, according to two officials with direct knowledge of the exchange. Trump was unsatisfied and asked again, the officials said. After the analyst revealed that her parents are Korean, Trump turned to an adviser in the room and seemed to suggest her ethnicity should determine her career path, asking why the “pretty Korean lady” isn’t negotiating with North Korea on his administration’s behalf, the officials said. Somehow, in a matter of only a couple of sentences, Trump managed to roll up both a racist and a sexist cliche into one offensive package.
