I think people are missing the point. Maybe the judge’s parents were illegal aliens. Maybe he belongs to La Raza. However, Trump did not say this. He said he was biased just because he was a Mexican-American and was proud of his heritage. Maybe Trump is not a racist, but his statement was.
What I heard on Sunday Morning Talk show was Trump claimed he was being treated unfairly because the plaintiff chose to not pursue the case and yet the judge has let it go forward.
No, I do not think your point is being missed. It is more that Trump supporters are sick and tired of the political correctness that dictates precisely how a point must be made so as to not trigger the fake grievance reaction that the Left and various minorities use to control the political debate. So yeah, Trump spoke in shorthand and did not connect all the dots but so what, why should he have to?
The judge is white.. Why would you call it a racist statement?
.
What did Trump say that is racist?
Some people are biased by their background, not everyone of the same background is biased. It was not said that all Mexican-American judges would be biased, just that Trump believes this one to be biased because of the way he identifies with his heritage. That is not racist, it is an opinion that one judge is biased because of his background.
“He said he was biased just because he was a Mexican-American and was proud of his heritage. Maybe Trump is not a racist, but his statement was.”
BS! The judge belongs to a La Raza associated organization that specifically stated it was wanting to attack Trump. “The Hispanic National Bar Association published a press release on July 2nd 2015 which specifically stated their intention to target the “business interests” of Donald Trump:”
Change of venue, recusal.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor:
–In a 1999 speech: "I would hope that a wise woman with the richness of her experiences would, more often than not, reach a better conclusion."
–In a 2002 speech to the Princeton club: "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would, more often than not, reach a better conclusion."
–In 2004, in a speech on women judges at Seton Hall Law School: "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would, more often than not, reach a better conclusion."

Then these are racist statements too - right?
Maybe Trump is not a racist, but his statement was.

What race are Mexicans? The term is a nationality, not a race. EX: What race are Americans? ...Ridiculous!
The term racist has become meaningless.
