Trump isn't trying to win people of color, he's trying to convince white people he isn't racist

Donald Trump is flailing on immigration, trying to balance his bloodthirsty xenophobia that got him here, and the fact that the people who “got him here” aren’t big enough to get him to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. 

Let’s be clear about one thing: Trump doesn’t give a rat’s ass whether brown people vote for him. In his world, they exist for two reasons: cheap labor for his properties and businesses, and a convenient boogeyman to rile up his core supporters. 

[Trump] believes that a more measured approach on race can convince white voters now shunning him - especially women - that he is not the racist that his inflammatory rhetoric might indicate.

Trump’s problem is this, from an AP poll back in July:

How well does the word "Racist" describe "Donald Trump"
Very Well 35
Somewhat Well 15
Slightly Well 15
Not at all Well 32
