HE BRINGS TEH TOPICAL HUMOR
One last thing: my husband cracks me up. At lunch he said, "I'm going back for seconds. If the waitress comes by, tell her I could use a drink refill. Actually, she'll probably figure it out herself; she's a wise Latina." Snorfle.

Sotomayor's "wise Latina" remark has been bugging me, and I just realized why. If she had said "a wise woman with the richness of her experiences", she would come off as just another egomaniac. But she's worse. What does wisdom have to do with being a Latina? Yes, being a minority does give you experiences the majority lacks. But the reverse is also true. We all experience things others can't. That doesn't make us special, much less qualified.
Whenever someone says something like Sotomayor, change the racial or ethnic term to 'white' and think about how it sounds. What if someone touted herself as "a white woman with the richness of her experiences"?
