The South Bronx is coming to the defense of Sonie the Phony against charges of racism.
Originally, I was impressed with her life story. I’m sorta backtracking on that. While I still think it’s a good life story, and that it would have been really easy for her to default into the typical lifestyle of a typical South Bronx Hispanic woman, you do have to admit that her climb out of the ghetto and up to SCOTUS has been more like an affirmative action elevator. If Sonia Sotomayor would have been born exactly as she was except white, male and in Beckley, West Virginia, he would have been at best a lifetime ambulance chaser.
