In an interview with CNN, Raul Curiel said Trump simply does not know his brother, Judge Gonzalo Curiel, and is speaking out of ignorance when questioning his ability to handle the lawsuits pending against Trump University in federal court.

“I think it’s more not knowing. Yeah, I would say ignorance,” Raul Curiel said in a telephone interview from his home in Indiana. “I don’t think he is strictly an outright racist like some of your Ku Klux Klan. Those kind of people really are racist. They have no redeeming qualities. Trump, I don’t believe, is that caliber of person. But he is very, very uninformed.”

Raul Curiel noted he and his brother are not Mexican, as Trump has implied in interviews and out on the campaign trail. The Curiel brothers were born in America and raised in northwest Indiana, near Chicago, by parents who immigrated to the U.S. from Jalisco, Mexico.

Curiel worked hard to reach the federal bench, his brother Raul said, working one summer at a BP oil refinery to help pay for college. Trump should get to know his brother better, Raul Curiel said.

“He doesn’t know that obviously,” Curiel said.

Curiel said he has heard from his brother, thanking him for speaking out on Trump’s comments. But Raul Curiel added the judge will not comment publicly on the matter.

“My concern is that it’s hurting other people. It’s hurting our image as sons of immigrants. It hurts our people in general,” Curiel said. “Being a Hispanic, it hurts these kinds of things. It doesn’t hurt me personally. And I don’t think it hurts my brother personally. We’re above those kinds of things.”
