In terms of the legality of it - as far as I am aware a judge can do what he wants (within reason) in his or her courtroom, and can certainly ask certain individuals to approach the bench or have a private discussion.
I suppose it is fashionable for white people to claim nowadays that they are the victims of reverse racism. It must be a way of trying to wash away historical guilt.
Of course, I dont mean to be anti-American, the British profited awfully from the rape of Africa as well, and many of the worst villians of America were British colonialists.
There is a big point and a little point.
The little point is that the actions of the judge are probably inappropriate, certainly make him look a bit silly and are certainly not criminal.
The big point is that, quite simply the actions of white people and black people, in regards to race, DO have different meanings. I think that for someone to argue this was not the case, would be very difficult to connect to logic.
