“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” - Obama's Supreme Court Nominee Sonya Sotomayor“I would hope that a wise European-American man with the richness of his experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a Latina woman who hasn’t lived that life” - Same statment, gender and race reversed.
One is racist and sexist, and the other is not. Apparently. All I did was switch the relative position of gender and race. So obviously, the difference doesn't have anything to do with race or gender. Which is the definition of racism and sexism. And stuff.
No, no, no. Clearly ... since ALL I DID was just reverse race and gender and in so doing I completely changed whether or not the statement was racist and sexist ... 180 degrees... you know, obviously.... there's no racism involved. Or sexism. In one statement. But there is in the other.
What do you mean you still don't get it?
Racist.
Sexist.
Pig!
