True, he didn't accuse ALL Mexicans, and he did say "some of them are good people."  What he actually did was worse -- he accused a foreign Government of "sending" murderers, rapists and drug dealers to America, and he did so without offering a shred of evidence. It was not only an offensive remark, it showed a complete lack of understanding of the idea of diplomacy. It was a fabrication of his own fevered mind, and his rabid base ate it up.  It's not unlike his claim that "millions" of illegal votes were cast.  Again, not a shred of evidence, just an outburst anyone would have to be a fool to believe...but they do.
