It is Not a race.  It was a made up word from the 1970's.  Specifically by a Mexican-American Professor at Berkley.  Much like many of the phrase's "invented by the Politically correct","I wonder what ever happened to Donna Shalayla?"  It also has a great deal in common with words invented by Politically Correct movements in the Late 1930's and early 1940.  As well as the Late Victorian early Edwardian. Gentille Speak.  Popular with the Pompous around the turn of the 19th and 20th century.

how can the sentence be fair in a situation where the trial was a show trial staged by a puppet government? \nWhatever the rights and wrongs of his case, the trial and outcome can never be seen as fair and just.

Correct. Fair is subjective. I guess I would prefer to know something without any doubt and work on people's feelings later.
