If the judge is "Mexican" . . .

. . . then, isn't Donald Trump . . . German?

His grandfather Friedrich and grandmother Elisabeth were born in Germany and emigrated to the United States. Their son Fred Trump married Donald Trump's mother Mary Ann MacLeod, who was born in Scotland and met Donald Trump's father during a vacation trip to New York.

2. His mother

was a minimum wage service worker who caught Fred Trumps eye. I read recently that the family tried to say she was more middle class, and visiting the US on vacation. Reporters went back to her village and found she came here seeking work, like so many immigrants. But The Donald can't have that can he?

4. No. Trump will tell you that he is an American, but that the judge is a Mexican.

He would regard your logic as an example of the "political correctness" that we no longer have time to indulge.

Sorry, but you don't beat racism with sarcastic racism. That only validates it.

Being descended from white races is fine. It's only those who are descended from all those "other" races that can be criticized for their origins, no matter how far back they are.
