No, saying he is incapable of being an impartial judge because he is of mexican descent is racist. full stop.

So either he is fit to be a judge and is capable of being impartial or he isnt.

by the way Trumps attorney has said publicly that they will not seek to have the judge removed from the case. Actions speak louder than words.

So.... is it racist for people to say white judges are being harsher on non-white defendants? Because in that scenario, it is usually the white judges that are viewed as being a problem. I don't see any difference here. Full stop.

That depends on the basis of the claim. If its based on presumptions about group identity and how that will produce actions, then yes. If it is based on systematic gathering of data on judicial decisions, factual circumstances which cover the expected non-race inputs to those decisions, and information of about defendants' and judges' races, then, no.
