And Judge Gonzalo Curiel was born in Indiana. In the U.S., people who are of clear immigrant ancestry are often lumped in with first generation immigrants in these controversies. To pretend otherwise is to feign ignorance.

I wasn't pretending otherwise. You're making a big assumption about my intent.
Edit: Trumps comments about the judge were overt racism.
I totally agree.
How were those comments any different than the comments about the white male judge in the Stanford swimmer sexual assault case? Or how about comments regarding the racial makeup of a jury? The fact is that humans do bring personal biases into the legal system. It doesn't seem like the political press is holding everyone to the same standards.
