A wise Latina wouldn’t stoop to using the term “wise Latina”.
A wise person wouldn't be looking for racial terms like ‘Latina’ to describe anyone, let alone themselves. What if people without as much skin pigment as those Sotomayer refers to started splitting themselves into groups and describing themselves with new terms? How about wise ‘Pan-Mediterraneans’? Or wise ‘Nordicina’s’? Or ‘ People of the North Sea? Or ‘Wise Unpigmented Slovakinas?
Terms like Soomayor use are designed to differentiate people from ‘Whites’ who they can then blame for everything about their own lives they're unhappy with.
