Sonia Sotomayor describes herself as a product of affirmative action which means she was promoted over others not by her competence or experience, but because of her race and gender. It’s as if racism against blacks isn’t good but against Asians it is.

How is this double standard tolerated and embraced in the judicial system? Well, the article linked says it all. The exams and tests are claimed to have cultural bias. You know, written to test knowledge and training as if we lived in this here western culture. This is among the weirdest objections. Does it make any sense for a student to complain against a teacher for testing on the material covered in class as opposed to material that wasn’t covered? Isn’t it obvious that a teacher in any situation shows bias just by choosing to teach from certain curriculum, and from their perspective, background, assumptions, cultural milieu etc?

As Sotomayor’s judicial history and philosophy is vetted more of this sort of bias is becoming plain. As a justice, she admittedly peeks out the bottom of the blindfold to find out what class, race and background the person has in order to change, by way of “empathy”, the verdict. She admits this is what happened to her and she continues the favor to others.
