He exploits them shamelessly, they’re his stock in trade, in particular the resentment at being told one has them, but I strongly doubt he fails to understand what she means or is unaware that the invitation to examine your own pre-loaded biases is one of the universal things you enounter in American higher education and has been for decades.

To be fair, we ALL have implicit biases, the history of slavery and racial discrimination aside, though that certainly impacts those biases. I don’t expect the holier-than-thou GOP though to ever understand that.

He’s playing to his base who believe that “extremist liberal partisans,” like Gupta, are the real racists. This bit of badinage will go down well in small town White Arkansas.
