speaking about sotomayor's full statement in context:
of course it's racist. her statement acknowledges differences in race (and gender) and carves out a role for racial considerations in the judicial process. it's dishonest to say anything different.
but the left has never rejected racism. on the contrary, their ideology demands we treat people differently based on their race. they only reject racism that conflicts with their political and social goals.

If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
