This is all about her use of the word "better." If she had just said, "different conclusion" or "more informed conclusion" or "more nuanced conclusion" I don't think it would've stirred the pot of white males so much. If it did, I'd have to tell them to shut up, because I think what she said is true. We are all products of our upbringing and culture, and a white man cannot possibly see things through the same eyes as a hispanic woman. I don't even think a man can see everything the same way as a woman! That is why it's important that we have diversity on the Supreme Court (i.e. why we need more than one woman to represent a female point of view or perspective when warranted).
