re: #433 Drider

You are confusing the concepts of “racist” and “racial”. What Sotomayor said was showed a racial bias, no argument there. But she did not use that statement to harm anybody. Racism means an act causing harm flowing from a racial bias. Refusing to hire somebody because of their race is therefore racist. Believing one race is better than another is racialist.

Considering that distinction, I still do think her comment raises some serious questions about her fitness for the post.
