Say what? Imagine a white judge saying “I expect to make some rulings based on my white heritage.” He’d be political toast. (Lightly done Wonder Bread toast, but toast nonetheless.)


I’m not sure that using white is the proper analogy. How about if someone used “Irish”? Maybe “Italian”, or “Portuguese”? Would those also be offensive?
