Around Christmas of 1973, a fellow sophomore approached Frank Reed, a leader of Princeton University's Chicano Caucus, to hand him a formal complaint she had typed up and to ask him to support it.
Sonia Sotomayor was head of the other Latino organization on campus, Acción Puertorriqueña. And after a history of fruitless student talks with Princeton administrators over the lack of Hispanic professors and staff, Sotomayor believed the time had come to lodge a grievance with the federal government over the university's hiring practices.
The written complaint, filed that April with what was then the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, accused Princeton of an "institutional pattern of discrimination" in hiring "Puerto Rican and Chicano" faculty, as well as in admitting students from those ethnic groups. The strategy, Reed recalled, was "different than anything that had ever been done" by the two student organizations. Neither rowdy nor meek, it reached boldly for outside legal pressure on the university to diversify the campus.

Had she been someone the WaPo didn't like, they would have called her a racist outright in the headline.
Just more of the same from the liberal media.
but she’s got a compelling pair of....I mean a life story.
Race pimping started earlier in NY. Sotomayor had to learn all the hustles early.
...On the other hand, while listening to Andrew Willcow on XM Radio this past Saturday, he suggested Sotomayor had not issued any opinion on Roe v. Wade, which means she could possibly be pro life and a threat to the Abortion Rights lobby. And with this in mind, we as Conservatives should support her and let the Left savage her, leaving the Democrats and the President in a serious ideological bind.
It's going to be interesting to see what comes out of the confirmation hearings if Willcow is correct.
Response: She will favor her own people over whites. What does one expect? The only people deceived about racial issues are the whites. The "Third Worlders" want their people holding the jobs, placed in office, get the money(notice I said get the money), exercising authority etc.
Wow, what a life story. Rising up from the difficult world of Princeton University, with enough time on her hands to file letters with the Uni President.
Hmmm, how did she have enough cash that she didn’t have to work while attending college? Yep, hard work be damned, this is the new American dream.
How is the water,sewer,phone system holding up in, say, So.Africa,Nigeria,Angola etc etc etc.... Oh yes! Haiti too where they swept out the bad guys 150 yers ago..../sarc
Yeah, if she had such a hard luck story; why wasn’t she working during her college years?
Shhhhh.
Don’t forget, folks like me had it made, heck we are “the man.” Just because I spent some time in the Army to afford college and still had to work practically full time matters not. All that matters is the color of my skin and my sexual organs. Nothing else can be used to determine the value of one’s life experience.
She worked for "a state agency that promoted homeownership for poor people."
That would never cause any problems, would it?
ACORN?
Perhaps, back then, Princeton was just doing the smart and obvious thing: Hiring those most qualified to do the job? A forgotten concept, it seems.
They know full well they use racism as a political tool.
I ripped my Senator Cornyn and Hutchison on these facts. They are too entrenched in identity politics to give a crap about Caucasians.
Could someone tell me about her personal life? Is she married? If so, what does her husband do? Does she have any children? Is her sainted mother still alive? Does she have a ‘significant other’?
Funny that we now know more about her academic history than the One’s.
THE CASE AGAINST SOTOMAYOR
ITEM She identifies herself as Puerto Rican first, even though she was born in the USA. Why does an American citizen cop a latino speech inflection (if she doesn't have a hidden agenda)?
ITEM In a College Thesis, Sotomayor Appeared to support Puerto Rican Independence. Did Soto have anything to do with Pres Clinton pardoning the FALN----violent Puerto Rican terrorists who bombed US installations? (Pardoned----so that then-Senate candidate Hillary could harvest the NY latino vote).
ITEM She is a member of the racial-thought police----La Raza. They are demanding "respect and fairness." That's latino for "shut up----close your eyes, ears and mouths........or else we'll get physical."
ITEM She is looking more and more like a mouthpiece for racial minority seeking to exert raw power over the rest of us---to marginalize the majority-----something one finds in failed Third World satraps.
ITEM The fact that she and her crowd do not understand a democracy is based on three co-equal branches of government is grounds for showing her the road.
ITEM Being Hispanic is not a criteria for seating a Supreme Court Justice. More is being made about her race than her actual judicial record.
ITEM She has the same disdain for America and it’s citizenry as evidenced by Obama.

ITEM Nelson Castellanos was arrested in NYC outside his Harlem apartment, charged with conspiracy to distribute cocaine. He was holding his keys and a white shopping bag containing about $10,000, mostly in $1 and $20 bills. That evening, pursuant to a warrant, DEA personnel searched his apartment and found over 1,200 grams of cocaine, six live rounds of ammunition, a .44 caliber revolver and incriminating notebooks. All this evidence was thrown out by District Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor on the grounds that the DEA agents had not provided the magistrate with probable cause to search Castellanos's apartment.
SOTOMAYOR'S ACTUAL WORDS FROM THE BENCH, SENTENCING ADMITTED DRUG DEALER Louis Gomez (a noncitizen), who pleaded guilty to dealing cocaine:
“[I]t is in some respects a great tragedy for our country that instead of permitting you to serve a lesser sentence and rejoin your family at an earlier time I am required by law to give you the statutory minimum. ... [W]e all understand that you were in part a victim of the economic necessities of our society, unfortunately there are laws that I must impose. “Louis Gomez, yours is the tragedy of our laws and the greatest one that I know. ... the one our congressmen never thought about and don’t think about. ... “It is no comfort to you for me to say that I am deeply, personally sorry about the sentence that I must impose, because the law requires me to do so. The only statement I can make is this is one more example of an abomination being committed before our sight. You do not deserve this, sir.”
