Over the past two weeks, Donald Trump has come under fire for repeatedly saying that U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel's Mexican heritage made him unfit to oversee cases involving Trump University. Even though Curiel was born in Indiana, Trump believes there is a conflict of interest because he wants to build a wall and Curiel's parents are from Mexico (but are now American citizens). Basically, Trump is saying Curiel can't do his job because of his ethnicity. This has been met with outrage and cries of racism, but believe it or not, it's not the first time Trump has made statements implying that Americans with Mexican heritage can't do certain jobs. Take a look at 10 of the most egregious examples backed by quotes below.
1. Tailor his expensive suits.
"Mexican-Americans are proud of where they come from and that's fine, but they mostly just wear sombreros and ponchos. I'm wearing a nice suit. What do they know about tailoring suits? Nothing."
2. Serve pizza.
"We all know that Mexicans are very good servants. The best servants. But they should stick to serving people taco bowls and leave the pizza to the real Americans -- like Italians."
3. Be a professional wrestler.
"I saw Nacho Libre and he wasn't very good. He was a horrible wrestler. The best wrestlers are from America, were born in America and are predominantly white or very, very tan. Like Hulk Hogan. Isn't that guy the greatest?"
4. Count money.
"I don't know what kind of money they use in Mexico, but I know it's not very good. Very weak compared to the dollar. Someone with that ethnicity wouldn't know how many millions of dollars I'm worth. Very inaccurate. Very unfair."
5. Caddie.
"Do they even have golf in Mexico?! I'm sure they do, but I've never seen a Mexican hit a hole-in-one so why do we need them telling us how to golf? We don't. And personally, I don't need them adding up my score either. I can do that on my own. I'm very intelligent."
6. Report the news.
"It's pretty clear that the media is against me. But they'll just be double against me if they are pledging their allegiance to Mexico. Even if they're from Indiana or Ohio or wherever, they probably secretly love Mexico more so we can't count on them to report the news here in America. We need to make the news great again, and that means no Spanish speaking reporters."
7. Give him a manicure.
"My hands are big and strong, okay. Look at these hands. That's why Hispanics love me, because they have tough, rugged hands, too. From all the work they do outside. But that doesn't mean they know anything about manicures. Neither does Crooked Hillary Clinton for that matter. Her fingernails are disgusting."
8. Fly the Trump plane.
"Actually, they might be okay for this job. We're talking about Mexicans here, right? Not Muslims?"
9. Megyn Kelly
"I'm not going to say anything, but has anyone seen this bimbo's birth certificate? It's possible that she's of Mexican descent, and that's fine, but can we really trust her words about me if she is? Megyn Kelly should probably be fired from being Megyn Kelly."
10. Be president.
"I'm building a wall. Mexico is going to pay for it. If we get a president after me who is Mexican, they are going to knock down my beautiful wall and ruin everything I did during my presidency. Sad!"
(Editor's note: These are not actual quotes from Donald Trump. However, we have no proof that he didn't say them to somebody at some point in time. Who knows?!)
