The people who Hillary labeled as "deplorable" are white rednecks who would never vote for her, anyway. She basically stood up on her soapbox and called out a very large group of people who are of no value TO HER. There are other groups of people in this country who have equally "deplorable" qualities that tend to vote Democrat and thus have value TO HER.
She'll turn a blind eye to the "deplorables" in the Muslim community, she'll turn a blind eye to the "deplorables" in the Black and Latino communities, but the white "deplorables"? The ones that don't vote Democrat? She'll hammer this group till kingdom come because it plays well with the base and she has nothing to lose by doing so.
That doesn't make sense. She wasn't calling out white people, she was calling out racist and xenophobic people.
Perhaps you can appreciate how being judged for one's race is wrong (because we don't choose our race), but one being judged for being racist is appropriate (because one must choose to be racist) ?
