Want to scare some white people? Put a Latina on the cusp of history and watch the “media” who have made their career on using stereotypes against people of color, lately immigrants, suddenly cry oppression.

Yes , yes as much as we all know that race is an artificial construct, suddenly those who have benefited the most from that construct are acting as if the fact they are white men has nothing to do with their position.

Media Matters is doing a great job keeping track of what the right, whom I avoid to keep my ears from bleeding, are saying.

I’ll get into more identity politics and the way gender and ethnicity are playing into how Sotomayor is talked about later.

In the meantime visit Culture Kitchen for the results of their “Have You Oppressed a White Man Today” contest.
