Some people collect esoteric facts about music, sports, history, film, etc.

Trump collects esoteric racial slurs.

I had no idea "moonface" was an anti-Asian slur.
But when he sees @gtconway3d, he knows which racist insult to pull from his sick arse-nal. I meant arsenal.
Example 1:
"Characteristics of moonface are prominent cheeks, small slanted eyes"
Example 2:
"Jesus, look at that Asian chick over there. She has the big, angry, Korean moon face."
I'm removing the offensive hashtags that were attached here.

Example 3:
"Moonface: A Japanese person.
Wow look at these moonface f***."
Again, I am removing the hashtags, but these are attached:
"japanese moony asian meanface okinawa"
Example 4:
This one is more complicated. Here "moonface" was used as a beauty stereotype, but it is explicitly identified by an Asian writer as an Asian reference:
"My 'moon-shaped' face was the prettiest he had seen."
