So true. You'd think Sotomayor was about to take over the entire judicial system........that wouldn't be a bad idea actually.

Yes those old Hispanic women know better than old white men...or so she said.

Good thing she is of the protected class otherwise she would have been attacked as a bigot.

how is it true?

protected by eeoc regulations. but in reality, its a lot harder to stick the label of racist on a "minority." they even call it "reverse racism" which is silly since its plain racism.

Wow! This thread just keeps going and going and going. As is the norm with such threads it ends up going no where, when it comes to issues of race people are usually set firmly in their thinking and will not budge an inch. Best thing to come out of such threads is the insight given to the readers as to which posters here hold racist view points and which do not, always good to know who your enemy is, no matter which group you belong to. One final thought, great to see how many of the posters here, representing all races, do not fall into racist group, well done people.

Its clear from the responses from liberals that they chose to ignore the facts because it doesnt fall into thier narrow world view of racial harmony.

I don't know what it is that you are thinking is being ignored?

And narrow world view, doesn't make sense. A world view by its very definition would not be narrow. Maybe a hopeful world view, or an optimistic world view, but not narrow, IMO.

Would narrow minded view be a better description of those on the left who are unable to bring themselves to admit that there IS such a thing as racial hatred from other than white people....
