I find a claim that one's particular race or ethnicity contributes experience or wisdom that can be assumed to be superior to that of another person, identified only by race, faulty. It's that claim that a wise woman or a wise Latina would more often than not make better decisions than a white guy, whose experiences we apparently are supposed to conclude are uniform and less rich, that I think is crap.

Okay.
