The Wisconsin judge in
Kyle Rittenhouse’s murder trial has been criticized for making a joke about Asian food in the courtroom that
some denounced as racist.
“
I hope the Asian food isn’t coming … isn’t on one of those boats from Long Beach Harbor,” Kenosha County Circuit Court Judge Bruce Schroeder said Thursday as court was preparing to adjourn for lunch.
It was an apparent reference to the
ongoing supply-chain backlog due to a number of ships waiting to enter California’s Long Beach Harbor port.
Schroeder’s words were slammed as racist by some online, who argued his off-color joke was placing blame on Asians for the large-scale supply-chain issues.

This overt racism could give the state grounds to try Rittenhouse on different charges, disqualifying an openly racist & white supremacist judge.
