Sotomayor Should Not Apologize For Being an ‘Affirmative Action Baby’
One other thing.
A lot of people are resentful of illegal aliens, and they’re accused of being racist for that. Let’s put that aside for a minute, because Sotomayor is a Puerto Rican. That means she was born an American citizen, and there was never any question about her right to be here, and have full access to everything that citizenship brings.
There’s a flip side to that coin. No one expects a Costa Rican or an Ecuadorian or a Mexican to have any sense of belonging or loyalty to the US. They’re here to makes some money, and usually go home after. Most don’t hate the US, but they don’t love it, either. They don’t have a dog in the fight. I understand that. That makes sense. When Americans go to work in Saudi Arabia, it’s to make money, and it’s not out of any particular feelings for the king. Sorry, Abdullah, but it’s just a job.
This is why I find her membership in La Raza so offensive. It’s not just that La Raza is (by its very name) a racialist organization, it’s that it’s a seditious organization. I get why Mexiacns might be attracted to that. But it’s outrageous for a born American citizen to be anywhere near such a seditious organization.
That would be bad enough if she were applying for a job as attorney at some firm. But for someone like that to be a judge is atrocious.
