Does Heritage Interfere with Fair Judgement?

Upon opening the National Review, I encountered an article posted earlier that morning titled Trump's Outrageous Attack on Judge Curiel by Ian Tuttle. 
Federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel is presiding over the lawsuit against Trump University. Late last week week, documents about Trump University representatives and their sketchy tactics to gain a large amount of money were released. These documents, Trump's realization that he's in trouble, and Curiel's choice to allow the case to proceed to trial have triggered an onslaught of heritage from Trump. Trump claims the Curiel has an absolute conflict when it comes to the lawsuit because he is of Mexican heritage, causing Tuttle to question who could preside over this lawsuit if Trump was convinced that any heritage was a factor unfair judgement. But is Trump's notion true? Does heritage interfere with fair judgement?
This article is a recommended read because it informs its audience of current events, especially with voting coming up right around the corner. Furthermore, the article concerns every United States citizen because everyone is linked to some form of heritage and is entitled to have knowledge upon Trump's notion and their own opinions about it.
