    ...and that's a hilariously hypocritical double standard. Can you imagine if this were a conservative that did this (3 times!)? Certainly wouldn't be afforded the same privilege.

    What privilege are you talking about? That the truth is he not a racist? . If he was racist don’t you think his opponents would say so? Don’t you think the media would as well? Has he tarnished his position? Yes. Has hurt people by his actions? Yes. Is he a racist? Not according to his opponents.

    Ok, sure.

    TAPPER: I don't care if you criticize him, that's fine. You can criticize every decision. What I'm saying, if you invoke his race as a reason why he can't do his job.
    TRUMP: I think that's why he's doing it. I think that's why he's doing it.

    He makes it very clear that a guy from Indiana can't be impartial because of his heritage.

    Trump not only said that the judge couldn't do his job because of his race, but he also wanted to have the case removed from his jurisdiction. So he put action to his racism.

    Not surprised. Canada has a long history of exploiting black and brown people all throughout S. America and the southern part of the Caribbean.


    As for some in this thread suggesting that racism is a thing of the past.....the only people who suggest that are those who wish to profit from ignoring the obvious.

    Fact check

    Actually it wasn't racism, since since "Mexican heritage" isn't a race. Most Mexican-Americans identify as white. You also left out the fact that Trump said the judge was a member of a club with strong views that could bias his work.

    Yes, most do because it was either that or select other or write it in on the Census.

    I also expected the "MEXICAN ISN'T A RACE THO!" defense, as if that makes it any better, that just makes him extremely xenophobic then and you're cool with it, sad.

    It's sad that people dig this kind of stuff up and make it racist. He was in a costume for a themed party. Good grief. Next people will be calling the Wayan Brothers racist because the made a movie in costume as "White Chicks". People need to get a life and quit stirring up stupid stuff like this and try and make it as an attack on someone's race.

    Really the right don’t give a ****, they understand it wasn’t meant to be racist and it was several years ago but the left set the rules of what’s racist (since you know they’re not) so they need to follow them or guess what it’s just another example of their never ending hypocrisy.
    Btw White Chicks can’t be racist, wrong race.

    Mexicans can have biases can't they. Pretty stupid to pretend mexicans can't have flaws just to virtue signal. lol

    Another response I expected, unfortunately.

    So, if you're concerned about Mexicans having biases as judges then you should also be concerned that Whites can also have biases as judges. I know you're not though, you're only concerned about racism if it affects white people, so I know this wouldn't be a concern to you.

    Yes, any race can have biases. However, a person's race should in no way disqualify them from doing a job for which they are qualified.

    Nobody suggested that Mexicans couldn't have biases. Trump provided no evidence that the Judge from Indiana was biased.

    When I was a child, for carnival, we all dressed up as all kinds of folks. Cowboys, Indians, Chinese, face painted black, etc. etc. - I never thought it implied any kind of racism.

    I think that it can be done in innocence or ignorance without ill intent.

    Because of the history, I can still understand people taking offense.
