Donald Trump is denying the buzz that he is a racist. Though his campaign demanding President Barack Obama release his birth certificate and his college records have prompted speculation that he is racially biased, the host of ‘The Apprentice’ and ‘The Celebrity Apprentice’ says nothing could be further from the truth.

‘I am the least racist person there is,’ asserted the potential presidential contender in an interview on Fox News’ ‘Fox and Friends.’ ‘And I think most people who know me would tell you that. I am the least racist; I’ve had great relationships.’

Trump pointed to his ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ reality show to make his case.

‘In fact, Randal Pinkett won, as you know, on ‘The Apprentice’ a little while ago, a couple of years ago,’ he said. ‘And Randal’s been outstanding in every way. So I am the least racist person.’
