The crazy thing about this is that being "Mexican" is neither a race or ethnicity, it's a nationality. Hispanic is the ethnicity of which you can be xenophobic toward, and since the judge is Hispanic, his race is probably white, Native American, or a mixture of the two. I think people tend to forget that people of "Mexican" heritage are typically of Spanish and Native American ancestry, and Spanish people are white people from Western Europe. There is no "Mexican" or "Hispanic" under the race column when you fill out a survey, people are just ignorant to the history of this continent.
