    The problem with the “black Jobs” rhetoric is that it was made in reference to immigrant labor, implying that black Americans are a permanent racial underclass competing for low wage jobs with new immigrants. Trump broke the cardinal rule of Republican politics: he told the truth.

    That’s why Biles’ statement is notable, because her “black job” is to be a world champion.
