re: #114 Charles

I suspect if you reverse it, a lot of the people who are yelling about the statement would actually agree with it.

Example: in a case alleging “reverse discrimination,” in which a white male was denied a job in favor of a Latin candidate, if a judge said “I would hope that a wise white male with the richness of his experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a Latina who hasn’t lived that life.”

How many people would agree with that?

True, there may be racists who don’t like her because she is Hispanic — but that still doesn’t justify her statement. Just because other people are racist against her, doesn’t negate the fact that she said a statement that could also be interpreted as racist.

She shouldn’t have provided fodder for the white supremacists, but unfortunately, she did.
