I’m sorry, but as a woman, I can tell you I have seen discrimination and it most certainly has had an impact on how I see things. It has shaped my life to be a female. (However- I speak out against all discrimination equally, and that includes race and both genders.) I think Sotomayor was being honest. Being a minority can shape your thinking on various issues. Maybe people don’t want to admit it. If you do, you’re a racist. I guess I’m a sexist then because I’m a woman, and I’ve been discriminated against, and I see it and it’s affected me? Walk a mile in the shoes of someone else and come back and say it hasn’t affected your thinking.
