Salma Hayek has revealed her hatred of Donald Trump is so strong that she won't even name him.

The actress said that the presidential hopeful had offended her so deeply with his attacks on illegal immigrants, particularly from her native Mexico, that his name is now toxic to her.

Hayek, who comes from Mexico but is a naturalized U.S. citizen, said that Trump's remarks are proof that 'discrimination and racism is a bigger problem in this country than we accept it is'.

Must not be named: Salma Hayek said that she won't utter the words 'Donald Trump' for fear of giving the controversial politician more attention

Personal: Hayek, who was born in Mexico then became a U.S. citizen, took umbrage at Trump's comments. She is pictured above (center) in the movie Frida

In an interview with E!, Hayek said: 'Thanks to that [the Mexico comments] all the things that he said - I don't repeat and I don't say his name because I don't want to give him extra publicity - but beyond him - this concept of America being a place where there is no discrimination, and it's not racist anymore...

'I think it's beginning to show that discrimination and racism in this country is a bigger problem than we accept it is. At least he brought a light into a real problem.'

Trump has been eviscerated ever since he took aim at Mexico on the first day on his presidential campaign, terming illegal immigrants from the country 'drug dealers' and 'rapists'.

In an address from his Trump Tower in Manhattan, he said: 'They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.'

Defiant: Trump, pictured today in Scotland, asserted that he was 'number one with Hispanics' on Thursday - despite the persistent controversy

Business connections with the Latino world evaporated in the days to follow, and U.S. organizations including NBC and NASCAR cut ties with the real estate mogul.

Nonetheless, Trump's incendiary gambit seemed to pay off, with his polling figures rapidly outpacing those of his Republican rivals.

Trump has been unrepentant since, and speaking in Scotland on Thursday insisted that he is 'number one with Hispanics', despite the comments.

He told reporters: 'I know you're surprised to hear that, but I'm number one with the Hispanics. I said that if I get the nomination I will win with the Hispanics.

'I'm number one in Nevada, I'm number one in North Carolina, and number one nationally. But very importantly, I'm number one with the Hispanics, it just came out yesterday.

'The illegal immigration in the United States is a huge subject and I brought it to the fore and everybody is thanking me for it, that's one of the reasons why I became number one in the polls.'
