Judge Sonia Sotomayor apparently believes that her experiences as a woman and Latina give her an edge in reaching certain types of conclusions. She has so stated publicly on several occasions, most recently in 2001, when she said in a speech, “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.”
Now while this statement may be politically incorrect, and you or I may or may not agree with it, it is hardly an assertion of racial superiority. “I would hope”, “richness of her experiences”, “more often than not” and “better”, hardly seem to be words one would use to express innate superiority.
