We know that Supreme Court Nominee Sonia Sotomayor believes test scores are biased when minorities don't do as well as white persons. We also know she thinks the death penalty is "racist" because she believes it is imposed on "too many" minorities relative to white persons. In her world, it seems that negative things automatically become racist (or "biased") if they disproportionately affect Hispanics.
Therefore, it seems reasonable to conclude the she might also find certain medical conditions racist since Hispanics may be at greater risk for them (possibly including: AIDS, cervical cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, earlier onset of cardiac risk factors and dementia, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.). Of course some of these conditions may be affected by personal choices, eating habits, and lack of proper medical care, etc., but we can be sure that Hispanic activists will lose no time in blaming white people also for these matters. It obviously is the fault of white persons if Hispanics choose to eat poorly, take drugs, have intimate relations outside of marriage or if they make poor medical decisions (even if it is because they are afraid to get "caught" since they are in the country illegally). Given the statistics, what else can we conclude but that the medical problems of Hispanics are racist? We can't blame them for their problems or expect them to take responsibility for their actions. No, the outcome isn't "fair" so it's racist. It must be. [6/11]
