The Associated Press/NORC Center poll, conducted in February, asked a series of questions on racial issues and surveyed a larger proportion of black adults than most polls do. The poll found, unsurprisingly, that 92 percent of blacks disapprove of President Trump, compared with 7 percent who approve of him. A whopping 84 percent of blacks think Trump is a racist, compared with 10 percent who do not.

I find it hard to believe that any black person, Hispanic, or woman actually supports Trump but I guess they do exist huh?
Must be as rare as finding bigfoot or a unicorn.
They’re the vast minority and minorities can be bigoted too. For example fellow queers can loathe immigrants, Muslims, and trans people. One thing I’ve found as a constant in the very few “Gays for Trump” there are - they usually show a hatred toward those groups.
When campaigning for gay marriage rights while canvassing the most homophobic (to a terrifying degree) was actually a black preacher.
I am very aware of all that. I know a feminist who hates black people and black people who hate homosexuals and gay men who hate women and all that stuff. But it still seems very strange to me for any person to support a politician who is clearly out to get people exactly like themselves. That's like a Jewish person supporting the Nazis or a black person siding with the KKK. It's mind baffling.
And no not ever minority has to side with Democrats. I realized a long time ago that Republicans are not all as bad as I used to think they were. Sometimes being a little more conservative can be a good thing. Liberals/Conservatives and Democrats/Republicans are really just two sides of the same coin.

I agree with what Spooky Mulder says, but I would also go a step further and say that Trump appeals to many minorities precisely because of his bigotry.
I believe it is a huge mistake to think that just because someone is from a minority community or maybe a second-generation immigrant family, that themselves would disagree with Trump's proposed deportations. The 2016 election showed this very well. Trump increased the GOP's share of the Latino vote by 10% and brought himself to victory on the most diverse coalition his party has ever assembled. This is despite Trump exclaiming that Mexican illegal immigrants are rapists.
Immigration in general always creates fear, racism, and tension in society. It doesn't matter which community you are from. Research has actually shown that minority communities like White communities are more inclined to be Conservative when told about the amount of immigration into their society. Like anyone else, they may hold racist values, and face fears about the job prospects and loss of status that immigration can sometimes entail.
I myself have no doubt that in 30 years when the second wave of refugees from the Third World starts coming into Europe, you might see the children of integrated Syrian refugees yell that those dirty brown people ought to be sent home.
