I've yet to see anyone demonstrate actual bias in the Trump University trial. Trump exploited his position as the presumptive Republican nominee to pick a fight with the judge presiding over a civil dispute to which Trump-the-businessman (and not Trump-the-politician) was a party.
He then decided of his own volition to bring up the judge's ethnicity at a political rally and on national TV. This, mind you, was before he made what Paul Ryan called "the textbook definition of a racist comment": "I'm building a wall; it's an inherent conflict of interest."
Even if you manage to convince yourself that Trump did not say anything overtly racist (which can be done with a tremendous amount of motivated reasoning), he still shat the bed twice by prioritizing his business interests over his political campaign and making the conversation about the judge's race.
