Ethnic, race or color bias is a valid exemption from jury duty if accepted by the court.

Yes. Being biased based on race disqualifies a person from jury duty.

Nothing will get you off the jury duty list unless you are a felon...if you tell them you are racist, it will be left up to the prosecution or the defense to excuse you, they may want you for some reason...

Yes you can , and no they can not bring charges against you for your beliefs. But they will likely call you for jury duty again.

It might backfire and get you on a jury instead, so it is best to be truthful when answering the lawyers' questions.

Nothing is certain unless you do it. It's an ignorant thing to do on several levels, though.
