I wouldn’t call Bush, McCain, not Romney “piece of shit racists.” If you think they are racist, please describe. Or they are racist in the way everyone is racist due to systemic racism. Or another way, they aren’t racist in a notable way.
I agree to some extent. I think there was a seismic shift which happened when Barack Obama won the presidency.
That said, a lot of their policy positions had the direct consequence of harming minority demographics. Whether it was with explicit racist intent or not, who knows. Today's politicians are making it very clear that those consequences are the explicit intent
