I find it kind of sad that we can fall all over ourselves declaring how some white judges are totally biased against minorities (or biased in favor of other rich white people... like the judge in the recent Stanford rape case) and that is just fine. But flip the script and suggest that a hispanic judge could possibly be biased against a person that has been quoted (and/or misquoted) as saying unkind things against certain other hispanics and that is racist. I guess that only makes sense if you buy into the "only white people can be racist" philosophy. I believe anyone can be racist. I believe anyone can be prejudiced. I believe it is entirely possible that the judge in the Trump University case could be biased (he is a human after all). I don't believe suggesting it as a theory is racist.

If the judge is acting in a manner unfit of a US judge, why dont trumps lawyers file for a recusal of the judge, or any other various legal methods of assigning a different judge to the case?

Can you show any evidence that the judge has acted in a manner unfit of his judicial duty? Or that the case lead to outcomes that were harsher than the norm for such a decision?

Maybe they did or will do that. I'm not privy to any of the inner workings of this case. If you are then maybe you could share those details. I simple said it is possible he is biased and suggesting so is not racist.
