A Columbia professor has accused the judge in the Kyle Rittenhouse case of using 'racist stereotypes' because he joked about Asian food for lunch being delayed by the supply-chain crunch.
Kenosha County Circuit Court Judge Bruce Schroeder had said: 'I hope the Asian food isn't coming... isn't on one of those boats from Long Beach Harbor'.
Schroeder appeared to be referencing the queues of boats waiting to dock at Long Beach Harbor that have exacerbated the supply-chain crunch across the US.
Lung Family Professor of Asian American Studies and Professor of History at Columbia University Mae Ngai said: 'All I can say is, Ugh. Old racist stereotypes die hard Civil rights activists DeRay Mckesson reacted in outrage, saying: 'It's pretty clear that this man should not be the judge of anything'.
While John Yang, president and executive director of Asian Americans Advancing Justice, said: 'It harms our community and puts us in the crosshairs of micro aggressions as well as actual physical violence'.
'Maybe I'm supposed to applaud him for not saying "Oriental food".
'Seriously, this remark can only be seen as a joke at the expense of Asians/Asian Americans. During a trial that clearly has race implications, no less. Definitely not okay. Meanwhile Eric Feigl-Ding, a health economist and fellow at the Federation of American Scientists, said: 'Racist, me thinks, the judge, is... What a complete joke and circus this #KyleRittenhouseTrial now is.'
He added: 'And yes it is RACIST. The boats in the harbor are majority boats from Asia. And he said Asian food - which further connects the Asian boats. It’s racist c’mon.'
Schroeder also faced backlash for asking for 'a round of applause to the people who've served our country' on Veterans Day

Toughen up, Buttercup!
OMG!! The Sky is falling!!!! The Judge said something funny, and the Left is going to make this a national issue, have race riots, burn down cities, destroy property and burn cars over it!!!
Ref: Cloward and Piven and Obama etc.
To the Left, there are no jokes - only racist microagressions.
Hoping your food delivery on time is racist...
Or maybe eating recipes from another ethnicity is culinary appropriation?
God forbid a man should have a sense of humor. Forbid it, Lord! (/s)
I wonder if the judge ordered pizza, he’d be walking in a minefield concerning racial stereotypes about Italians.
They are white Marxist thugs.
This is where I stopped giving a sh*t about the article
Do college professors (and libs and public teachers and the left) immediately take “HOW TO BE OFFENDED BY EVERYTHING” training when they are hired?
As much as anything it suggests the man has no filter
Ain’t Affirmative Action wonderful.
I like oriental food--from moussaka, spanakopita and döner kebap to bulgogi and tempura.
Oh good grief, ya snowflake. Get over your delicate little self. Not everything is about race. 🤦🏻♀️
Excellent!
Here's hoping the Judge will exact revenge on the Woke that will be severe and undetectable.
“’Maybe I’m supposed to applaud him for not saying “Oriental food”.”
Food from the Orient, don’t call it oriental. LOL
Oriental is racist?
Is it OK if I order occidental food, or is that racist too?
Oh, no!
I wrote “OK.” Doesn’t that make a white supremacist?
