Well, it is important in the courts that we have juries and jurists who
"look like us" from what I can tell of the current agitators, so I think
you are onto something.
Here in Charleston there are a coupla cases of white men allegedly
shooting black people, and the local people of color are demanding that
the juries are "representative" which is code for "has a lot of blacks
on it." I have no issue with juries reflecting the prevailing
demographics per the lawyers acceptance/rejection of various candidates,
as it is done, but to clamor for a stacked jury sends the message that
black jury members can somehow be better judges of guilt or innocence of
(white) persons accused of crimes against blacks, or blacks accused of
crimes. They have some convoluted arguments in favor of that approach,
that are fairly incomprehensible. I think a black judge was assigned to
the shooter of 9, for whatever that is worth.
From what I have observed and have experienced, black folks have some
fairly unreconstructed views on white folks around here, and I will not
entirely dispute their reasons, as some whites have of blacks. The
problem is that it gets injected into everything with no clear means of
resolving the issues, or sometimes even what the issue is. (Of
particular note, some of the local black agitation groups are upset at
the school board for some reasons I have not followed [though it could
be any number of things, the school board is completely incompetent and
dysfunctional], and yesterday they called for a boycott of car dealers
by black folks. Car dealers? WTF? No one can quite figure it out, and
so far they have not enlightened us on their reasoning.)

Interesting line of thought..
The word "Mexican" is a word devised by the Castilian Spanish "pure breds"
that conquered the Native Lands now called "Mexico".
These pure bred Spaniards came with their weapons, soldiers, and a Royal
Edict from the King of Spain, to grab all the gold and silver for Spain,
but they came with no women.. So..
They took local indian women to fill their needs.. which produced 1/2 breed
children... which the Pure Spanish looked down upon.. they were "bastard
1/2 breeds" and they invented the derisive term "Mexican" which in it's day
held the same connotation as the now much reviled "N" word in USA..
It did then,, and it does now, to the ruling class of "pure Spanish" in
Mexico define a "lower class of person" not worthy of land ownership, or
wealth..
Just a bit of history to chew on.. since, calling someone "Mexican" is
actually "racist" by original intent..

This whole "race" thing in regards to Mexicans or others from SOTB is
kinda interesting. For example, a friend of mine is married to a woman
whose family are Mexican-(US)American but are Irish/mestizo, she has an
Irish surname, some ancestors having settled in Mexico at some point and
spoke Spanish. So she is mostly a white European (Irish) but of the
"Mexican" (country of origin) "race." Now she is an ultra-lib, so is
easily offended by things like this, but as far as "race" she is pretty
much as white as I am (though I have more Cherokee than Lieawatha Warren)
and I am your prototype white boy. Now a lot of people SOTB are almost
pure pre-European-invader indigenos, they look like Mayans and Aztecs and
whatnot, or at least not like the European invaders, so I guess they
would
be a definite "race". But a lot of people SOTB are mixed mestizo so
unclear what "race" they are, they are just sorta browner in varying
shades
but not all of them, so they might be "of color."
It all confuses me.

LSM [Lame Stream Media] has made this a "race issue" because it serves
their masters.. It ain't true.
Here is the issue that Trump actually raised.
1. The Judge is a member of a group of lawyers in California that
advocate
for and represent, La Raza, [translation "The Race"] which is a
politically
militant Latino group that has declared Mr. Trump their sworn enemy
because
of his vocal stand against ILLEGAL entry into the USA.
2. By the Federal Rules of Court, and ALL 50 State Rules of Court, AND
the
National Bar Association and ALL 50 State Bar Associations Rules of
Ethics,
a Judge or a Lawyer who has ANY association with anyone that could be
construed as a Conflict of Interest, MUST Recuse themselves. and as a
Judge, is barred from hearing that case.
3. This Judge [also a Lawyer] has breached those Rules of Court, and the
Bar Association Rules of Ethics by setting on the bench in this case.
4. Mr. Trump, called him out on that breach of the rules.. and by the
Judges OWN rules .. he could be dis-barred from practicing law... AND
removed as a Judge.. or have sanctions against him...
Nothing racial about that.. except in the case of the Judge's
affiliations..
So, again.. Trump is right.. and it's "Always Good to be Right".....;))

Speaking of Mexicans, I note that The Don is being called a "racist" for
his comments about a judge of Mexican heritage and some lawsuit or
other.
I did not realize there was a Mexican race, other than the Baja races.
