‘I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male’

This statement of hers, if it is truly reflective of her views on race, should disqualify her from the Court. It is racist in the extreme. A simple substitution of the words “white” for “Latina” and “black” for “white” shows just how offensive the statement is. If a white nominee to the Court had said such a thing, he would be raked over the coals, and rightly so. She should be questioned about her statement and should apologize to even merit consideration. We cannot, in this day and age, tolerate racial bias in any member of the Supreme Court.
