I think people are missing the point. Maybe the judge’s parents were illegal aliens. Maybe he belongs to La Raza. However, Trump did not say this. He said he was biased just because he was a Mexican-American and was proud of his heritage. Maybe Trump is not a racist, but his statement was.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor:

–In a 1999 speech: "I would hope that a wise woman with the richness of her experiences would, more often than not, reach a better conclusion."

–In a 2002 speech to the Princeton club: "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would, more often than not, reach a better conclusion."

–In 2004, in a speech on women judges at Seton Hall Law School: "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would, more often than not, reach a better conclusion."

Then these are racist statements too - right?

Yes they are. That does not make Trump’s statement any less racist.
