Judge Promotes “Fresh off the Boat” Stereotype

‘How not to be a good judge’: Kyle Rittenhouse judge draws new backlash with ‘Asian food’ joke

Bruce Schroeder, the judge presiding over Kyle Rittenhouse’s murder trial, continues to draw attention, criticism and accusations of bias.

On Thursday he attempted a joke in response to an inquiry about a lunch break: “I hope the Asian food isn’t coming … isn’t on one of those boats along Long Beach Harbor,” he said.

Schroeder had already demonstrated his practice of reinforcing tropes against anyone participating in anti-police violence demonstrations:

…his decision to allow the same people to be called “rioters, looters and arsonists” began a pattern of Rittenhouse’s critics blasting the judge as biased and Rittenhouse’s supporters celebrating the judge’s decisions.

With respect to his quote about Asian food, this is exactly the racist and dehumanizing white supremacist garbage that encourages Anti-Asian Violence (AAV), promoting the notion that all Asian Americans are immigrants and by inferences, less human and less entitled to human rights.
