Of course he's right to question the judge. If it were the other way round it would be questioned.
>>76116340
Can people ask for a new judge or is this just Trump trying to complain until he gets his way?
>>76116340
it really makes you think
I love how this is the best the can come up with. Bring it on.
>>76116823
Little bit of column A, little bit of column B.
>>76116823
Both and both.
>>76116340
>Gonzales
>Defends Trump
NAAAANIIIIII???!!!
>>76116340
All according to plan
HAIL THE GOD EMPEROR
>>76116823
You can get a new judge if your lawyers prove conflict of interest. It should be obvious there's a conflict of interest here but liberals are faggots and like to pretend bullshit like social justice excuse real problems like conflict of interest or juries.

>strawman logic doesn't apply to 100% of a demographic
No way

>yfw Trump flat out calls Gonzalo Curiel a Mexican ethno-nationalists and irredentist.
He is afilitated with La Raza, even though leftists are trying to write articles saying La Raza Lawyers of California have nothing to do the The National Council of La Raza. This shit is going mainstream, people. It's finally here!
>>76119161
I wonder if anybody remembers the name Alberto Gonzales.
It dropped out of my mind for a number of years.
>Mr. Trump why do you think this judge is biased against you?
>He's Mexican and I have a hard position on illegal mexican immigration
>MEXICAN? HE WAS BORN IN INDIANA! HE'S AMERICAN YOU RACIST, HOW CAN YOU CALL HIM MEXICAN HOLY SHIT WHAT A RACIST
can somebody please explain how 90% of news stories about this are pushing this semantic logic?
I've literally never heard an american citizen of mexican heritage not be referred to as simply "mexican" before, let alone take it as some kind of indication that they were a mexican citizen. it's like they invented this shit overnight.
>>76119772
"Mexican" is a nationality, not a race.
>>76119846
True, but they wouldn't name their own organization La Raza (The Race) Lawyers of California if they did not feel their ethnic identity had racial connotations. We all know, semantics aside, what the real situation is.
>>76119846
no shit, I'm talking about common usage of the term.
people in this country that trace their family back to mexico refer to themselves as mexican regardless of holding citizenship in the country or not. It's never been considered an insulting or loaded term until three fucking days ago unless it was literally misapplied
>>76119846
All hate speech is race speech.
(((not even the jews can prove it's about race)))
>>76120199
They're arguing semantics and you need to either ignore it and redirect to the main point or just ignore them outright. It's akin to someone saying that calling a jewish person a "jew" is offensive.
I'd bet you a dollar against a donut that former AG Gonzalez wouldn't bat an eye toward being called a "mexican american" or anything similar.
>>76120130
>We all know (...) what the real situation is.
No, I don't. Tell me.
>>76119772
The media is retarded
People are writing stories about trump saying the illegal thugs in San Jose are illegals and thugs as if that isn't a fact
>>76116340

The proximity of Canada, the US, and Mexico mean that people from these countries often maintain connections to their cultural and national heritage, regardless of which country they are living in at any given time. This persists over generations, as family connection persist immediately over either border.
There's nothing innately wrong with this situation of course, except that swipple liberals like to pretend that national and ethnic loyalties to not persist internationally. That may be true when great distances separate people from their native groups, and it was especially true in the past when communication and travel was more onerous. But we shouldn't pretend now that the North American nationalities are so easily shed and adopted. It's not an accurate description of real social dynamics.

!internationally
intergenerationally*
Well the media are doing a sneaky thing they are forcing the idea that a guy who is born in america cant have an agenda and can't be biased in any way which is racist in itself cuz in their eyes only Trump can have a prejudice which is false, the attorney may actually have a prejudice
>>76120372
it's not the semantic logic I was originally confused by it's just the novelty of it, I've lived in a border state most of my life and I have never seen the term dissected in this way to imply a "non-american" status.
again it's like it was invented three days ago by every journalist and talking head in the country at the exact same moment, it's bizarre
>>76120842
I hate to be that "not all [x]" poster, but there's obvious exceptions to the rule (like AG Gonzalez).
I agree with your post though.
>>76120994
They don't call it "racebait" for nothing. The same people who conflate being called "mexican" with being called "non-american" are the same people who see the headline of a news article and make up their mind about it without reading the article.
In a lot of ways, the internet has made people dumber and angrier than ever before.
>>76118843
Can't wait for this to set a precedents and let Black people claim racism when its a white judge. All those college educated, affirmative action PoC "Nu-judges" will be more sympathetic to the plight of the black man.
>>76119846
So? I refer to Mexicans in America as Mexicans all the time. If that offends you, I don't care. I'm still going to do it, and everyone knows exactly what is meant by it.
>>76121000
There are MILLIONS of exceptions. The problem is too many people reflexively defend the universal assimilation myth, and deny that there are ANY group dynamics that are intrinsically against American interests, and in favor of foreign interests. Or they play the "moderate muslim" game, and say that to be concerned about those dynamics at all, will only push more people to become traitorous--which ironically proves the point about concerns over lingering ethnic allegiances.
And of course no one has a hard time believing that whites have entrenched ethnic interests. But Jews, Blacks, and Hispanics? "Noooo, of course not. That's racist to suggest otherwise."
>>76121334
Why would I get offended at something logical?
>everyone knows exactly what is meant by it
Why don't you elucidate on that?
