Personally I don't think that snarky comments should be grounds for impeachment. What's important is what's happening, not that the judge says "rice and beans" instead of "sandwiches". Let's keep our priorities straight, lest we get our fill of accomplishment by controlling others' speech instead of improving conduct.

It so happens that there is a correlation (not universal, but a correlation) with race and whether you get fair treatment in court though. I think it actually goes beyond judges just 'not liking' black people or latinos though, it's an issue of the structure of our society, not just bigotry in judges. But those bigoted comments from judges do give a hint that this is certainly not something that has nothing to do with race.
