I think it is funny when white people act shocked that it is possible to judge and even hate people because of skin color. It is like they think they have a monopoly on irrational thought. Though it is hard to argue with this line of reasoning, there is some evidence that stupidity is equally distributed throughout the population.
So Sotomayor said that being a Latina could possibly make her a better judge. What white guy hasn't thought that? We shouldn't forget our bias and prejudice. We should know them, understand them and use them to make better decisions.
