Please be careful not to take what the President said, or 'tweeted' out of proportion nor out of context of what he said.
In today's climate, there may be a buildup of heat and resentment for stances Trump has taken on certain issues, and words used to make statements.
However, it is not advisable to try to take a hangnail, make mountain out of a mole hill, then go running for glory with it, off in some direction and some purpose that has nothing to do what he said. 

To a degree, this is for the purpose of intervening with some knowledge, 'refereeing' slightly.  Let us strive to mitigate inharmonious atmospheres.

So, what will be done here is set forth a few ground rules, and a few facts.

One, even some of the highest learned people that teach or have taught Islam, recently, as in post 1950, and who had African or Arabian or Native, summarily non-fair complexion European stock, in their ancestry, have said very clearly and very forthrightly, those that hate this country, those that work against this country, 'can leave'.  This comment has even been made to their closest of allegiances and students, and even other family members if it applies to them.The point is about hating the country, not the ancestry, not the heritage, not the belief system, not a combination of ethnicity and cultural beliefs.  


It may be that there were comments made whereas there was a coincidental fact that those the comments were reported to have been directed to were 'minorities', or of ethnicity that can for loose description in shortness of words, that is east of the Atlantic and south of Europe.

Concepts about undermining the country go back at least as far as Benedict Arnold.  If it was him, then the comment is applicable.

In the effort to salvage ethnic tensions, there is also a balance that need not be overlooked.  Some comments in terms of the verbiage themselves made about September the 11th, in 2001, horrific events referred to, by referent individuals it applies to, were sedition per se; whether it was actually intended or not.

Question that naturally presents itself, is what proof do you have the comments were racist, if the element of racism was not presented?  It may seem that masses of people swayed to have certain feelings may feel justified in their reaction.  Perhaps what can more safely be said, is that heartstrings may have been tugged a bit, the comment may have rubbed the wrong way a bit, as it may have caused memories of certain racial sayings from eras past to arise in the minds; historically on the hand, there are other sayings and other memories, and in this case, it appears that Trump is laying down the law with austerity, and with a fervor manner is driving home a point that has to do with protecting the country from vulnerabilities that may exist that are difficult to see because of constructs they came in, even, within the government.

Furthermore, the buildup of a collective effort of salvaging emotions hurt from caustic comments, is also concurrent the extreme amount of heat by those that wish to defend this country, especially after September 11th 2001, and do so with their lives they are willing sacrifice, this be no matter what their ancestry is.
