I can’t stop laughing about this term “racist dog whistle”

These people are delusional. If you can’t tell that a statement is racist, then it isn’t. There is no coded/hidden language that only racists understand.

Yet there’s plenty of this made up bullshit online:

“ In politics, a dog whistle is the use of coded or suggestive language in political messaging to garner support from a particular group without provoking opposition. The concept is named for ultrasonic dog whistles used in shepherding.

Dog whistles use language which appears normal to the majority, but which communicate specific things to intended audiences. They are generally used to convey messages on issues likely to provoke controversy without attracting negative attention. One example may be use of a phrase such as family values to signal to Christians that a candidate would support policies promoting Christian values, without alienating non-Christian supporters.[1] Another may be the use of the phrase "international banks" to signal to racists that a candidate is antisemitic without alienating non-racist supporters.[2] Accusations of dog whistling are, by their nature, hard to prove and may be false.”

“ The term “racist dog whistle” is not new. But President Trump may represent the perfection of “dog-whistle politics,” using phrases, symbols and tweets to create plausible deniability whenever his policies seem too overtly racist.”
