Barbara, here is Merriam Webster's definition of racism:

"a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race "..........

This definition fits in with my take on the views and attitudes of Judge Sonia Sotomayor, and I definitely consider her to be a racist. She may not be a pure racist, but she is a racist nevertheless.

P.S. Dang, Barbara, now my butt is grass and I can hear all the lawnmowers revving up !!
