In her lecture she said that she disagreed with the premise that "a wise old man and wise old woman will reach the same conclusion in deciding cases". She goes on to explain why with the statement "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."
Of course this is racist and of course there are many white males who probably think they would make better case decisions than minorities. I expect that decisions on cases of reverse discrimination like the New Haven Firefighters might be greatly influenced by the richness of their experience as well as the ethnicity of the judge.
