Trump and "shithole" countries

Trump got dinged—and yet again called racist—for using intemperate language about certain poor, chaotic countries even though he never mentioned race as a factor in these countries' straits. (This leads me to think that Trump's accusers are themselves the racists for jumping to conclusions.) But as it turns out, certain countries are indeed shitholes, just as many big American cities can now be labeled as shitholes. 

Was Trump right to use such language? PJW argues yes.
