Okey dokey. You have your opinions, I have mine. But calling what I've said 'offensive as fuck' is hardly going to change my opinion, nor are a series of 'WTF' statements.
And I'm Australian, so this 'Trump shit' doesn't apply to me. I assume you're American? Well sweetheart, he's your problem - and a product of your society who incidentally (and amusing as hell given your whining) is apparently cleaning up in the preelection race. Yeah he's a fool. But he sure isn't my fool or a fool from my country.
Finally? What I've said isn't racist on a few levels. Firstly, there isn't a religion on this planet that is a race with the one exception of the Jews. Secondly, I have strong opinions about Islam in general as a culture - and the Muslim religion - and those opinions are negative for the most part.
But you have no idea, or clue as to why I have those opinions - its just so much easier to fly the social justice warrior flag and scream racism at someone who you don't know from a bar of soap, on a website designed as far as I can tell, to discuss and share opinions (funny that) about items in the news.
Racism is a truly heinous, cruel, insidious crime. The idea that another human being is somehow 'less' of a human being, or unworthy because of the colour of their skin, or the country they are from (which as you will notice, I touched on neither) is sickening. True racism is horrifying. Look at the Holocaust for example. Look at the way African immigrants are beaten, tortured, shot, raped, harassed and singled out for discrimination in Arab nations - that is obscene.
And people like you jump on your precious little soap box and rant and rave about racism. Its people like you that have diluted the true meaning - and thus - the horror behind racism. Its people like you who cannot handle and opinion that differs from your own - thus you attempt to shut it down - by crying racism.
If I wanted to be racist about this woman, I would have said something along the lines of 'typical Uzbkeistanis. They're all primitives who scratch in the dirt and haven't evolved enough to understand that slaughtering a little girl and waving her head around is a bad idea'.
Instead, I put forth my opinion - which I'm well aware is insulting - about Islam as a culture and as the Muslim religion. Again, you have no idea as to why I have those opinions.
But hey. Whatever floats yours boat, sweetheart. If you think babbling about racism and Donald Trump makes you right - well, whatever helps you sleep at night.

Unlike America a lot of countries on this side of the world it's cheap to get nannies. Usually you rely on the agency to vet them for you. You can choose your own but it requires more paperwork then just letting an agency do it for you.
Take here in the Netherlands for example:
If you have an Au-Pair (live in nanny, usually a foreigner on a work visa) you only pay between 300-340 euros a month. Regardless how many children you have. You supply room and board and the salary is pocket money for them to spend.
If you have a nanny here (they don't live in and are usually experienced and charge by the hour) you pay around 10 euros an hour, no matter how many kids they watch. A nanny will cost about 1300 a month for the average full time working family.
Daycare on the other hand will cost between 600-1000+ euros PER CHILD a month. So in a lot of cases it's cheaper to have a nanny or Au-Pair.
She also could have been an under the table nanny. Pretty hard to vet someone who's under the table and not registered with an agency.
Thanks for that
I should have explained myself better in my comment. What I meant was, I would assume the mother would be able to identify if the nanny she is hiring, is crazy. Given how protective any parent is, especially when hiring a stranger to care for their child.
All that being said, assuming the nanny was normal - and had an unexpected 'snap' then yes, I don't think anyone could preemptively see that.
Whether the woman was hired under the table, via an agency, with or without checks - I assume the mother felt confident that the nanny was trustworthy and capable of the job, prior to the murder.
