If you're going to quote her out of context AT LEAST INCLUDE THE WHOLE SENTENCE!!!!

“… 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 who hasn’t lived that life.”

Or you could surprise the hell out of us and include the CONTEXT:

"In fact, when Sotomayor asserted, “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 who hasn’t lived that life,” she was specifically discussing the importance of judicial diversity in determining race and sex discrimination cases."

So it was in the context of a limited set of cases NOT a general critique of the decision making capacity of white males vs. latina women.

Hmmm, not quite so "racist", eh???
