Michael Goldfarb, who subscribes to the idea that by definition, a person of color who achieves academic excellence has been the recipient of "preferential treatment" and is therefore undeserving, discovers that Sonia Sotomayor was asked to teach a class on Puerto Rico while still an undergraduate and remarks:
I went to Princeton but somehow I never got to teach my own class, or grade my own work. One wonders how Sotomayor judged her work in that class, and whether the grade helped or hindered her efforts to graduate with honors.
It is, by definition, impossible for a woman of Puerto Rican descent to be smarter than Michael Goldfarb.
UPDATE: It's not even true! Maybe that's part of the reason why Goldfarb didn't get to teach his own class. But it's probably just because of preferential treatment offered to people like Sonia Sotomayor.
