We need a lawyer, or someone knowledgeable, to read Judge Sotomayor's opinion in the New Haven Fire Department case. I would guess that her legal reasoning and the case law that she applied to reach her decision went a whole lot farther than the color of the skin of the applicants who passed the test. If her opinion reflects that her decision was based only the ethnicity of the test-takers, you or anyone else would be justified in calling her a racist. But if her opinion is reasoned and well-supported in both written and case law, then your allegation that she is a racist is not only premature, but inflammatory by it's very nature.
