Oh, I see! We should ignore what people actually say, and focus on their likely intent! And who determines the intent of what everyone says? Liberals!!
Let's re-state your handiwork on this post, in terms of gauging "intent".
"Trump's insinuation was that his heritage would compromise his ability to uphold the law"
So even though Trump never explicitly said as much, you are able to determine that his insinuation, or "intent" was racist. His statement isn't racist. But you are able to conclude that his intent is racist.
Sotomayor, on the other hand, comes right out and says that in terms of judicial ability female Latinas are superior to white males. That is textbook racism. Fortunately for her, you can see past that to her "intent", which even though you chose not to share it, was certainly something worthy of a Nobel Prize.
In other words, according to you, (1) conservatives are racist even when they are not, and (2) liberals aren't racist, even when they are.
Cue the 'Twilight Zone' music...
