You are a lawyer sh, and I bet you are white. Here is a article about liberals complaining that there are too many white prosecutors.

Now what if I were to complain that there were too many gays in Hollywood?

Why is it OK to complain about too many white judges but not OK to complain about a judge because he is Mexican?
That'd be racist.Since whites are going to be the minority soon I wonder if that will change?

Originally posted by whodey1) There's 400 years of documented racial discrimination from whites that continues to this day, in a nation dominated and run by whites. Alleging that one Mexican judge has similar bias is quite baseless by comparison.

2) The judge started presiding over the case in 2014, long before Trump entered the presidential race, and long before Trump made his plans for a wall or his inflammatory comments about Mexican immigrants public:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonzalo_P._Curiel
"In February 2014, Curiel certified Tarla Makaeff v. Trump University as a class action alleging that Trump University was "a basically fraudulent endeavor".
Was it his "Mexican heritage" that caused him to make this decision back in 2014?
3) Curiel fought to take down Mexican drug cartels, leading a task force as federal prosecutor to do so.
So...that's why Trump's comments are not "OK".

I think Whodey's argument should be addressed: Why do many consider a decision from an all white jury to be unfair (whether it is because they couldn't possibly be fair to minority or because they have different life experiences) but would not consider the argument that a minority decision maker (here a judge -- but it just as easily could be an all minority jury) is inherently unfair to a white man.
Either the race of the decision maker matters or it doesn't. Clearly, in my mind, the race of the decision maker doesn't matter. But the Trump argument is no dumber than the all white jury argument.
Originally posted by quackquackI doubt anyone automatically thinks an all-white jury's decision is unfair. An all-white jury has their decision questioned during times when the verdict seems clearly unjust; one famous example, the Rodney King case, where despite video being shown of King being assaulted repeatedly on the ground in a clearly defensive and subdued position, no (white) cop was convicted. Cases like this aren't isolated.

Conversely, all-minority juries haven't been involved in racially-charged cases any near as often.

(i) juries formed from all-white jury pools convict black defendants significantly (16 percentage points) more often than white defendants, and (ii) this gap in conviction rates is entirely eliminated when the jury pool includes at least one black member. The impact of jury race is much greater than what a simple correlation of the race of the seated jury and conviction rates would suggest.

I know of no equivalent statistical research indicating that "Mexican" judges exhibit a strong bias against white billionaires. Perhaps you could provide some.

Of course that does not mean that Trump is entitled to a white judge just a fair one.
Similarly I'd argue that a defendant is entitled to a fair jury not one of a specific racial composition. In the end, the Mexican judge decided a case is not different than a white jury deciding a case and in both we should not worry about the ethnicity of the decision maker.
