There may not be. There may be. She hopes there is. That's the whole point.

Is there an overall set of experiences? Are white experiences so uniform that the claim makes sense?
It doesn't to me.
I think that the experience of being Ted Kennedy varies so significantly from the experience of being Eminem, especially pre-success, that it's kind of goofy to lump them together by race and culture and assume that they've shared formative experiences.
Certainly, the shared experience of legal training is going to narrow the gap some, and maybe there's not as profound a variety in the experiences of white guys likely to become judges. But I still think a big sweeping comment about what ethnicity, race, or culture contribute is likely to be pretty faulty.
