[Vision2020] Reverse Racism?

[Joe Campbell]

"White Christian men are the best, Ellen. So if a Latino woman is  
selected by a black president, there must be racism involved. Forget  
the fact that NO Latinos and only TWO woman have served on the Supreme  
Court. Anytime a member of an under represented group beats a white  
Christian male, it must be due to reverse racism, because we are the  
best. Always."

That is the argument as far as I can tell. Pretty pathetic; which is  
why some who give it don't use their real names!

Honestly, the FIRST Latino woman up for SC nomination! One instace  
cannot constitute an unfair advantage, which was your point to begin  
with.
