You can get in a lot of trouble in NYC for making statements like that ("I'm a racist") in a jury-selection room. I've seen it happen.

I was half-joking. I've served several times, and hate it. I feel that it is an infringement on my freedom. They should have professional jurors, who know the law.

Sometimes the judge will say, "Anybody that does not understand English please stand up.". Naturally, those that do stand are not dismissed.
