#6 My basic rule for deciding if something is racist is to switch "white" for "black". If it sounds racist then, the original was racist.
So,imagine the uproar if a politician would only grant an interview to white reporters.

#10 Hot Air has the response from a Chicago Tribune reporter:

I am a Latino reporter @chicagotribune whose interview request was granted for today. However, I asked the mayor’s office to lift its condition on others and when they said no, we respectfully canceled. Politicians don’t get to choose who covers them. https://t.co/YMW8M8ZgJm
