Steven Colbert on Sotomayor and the "Neutral Man's Burden"

By Mariela Rosario | 07/20/2009 - 14:00 | 0 Comments

Steven Colbert took to his show, The Colbert Report, to address the issues raised during last week's Senate Confirmation hearings about Sonia Sotomayor's life experiences and possible biases. He uses a really great analogy about band-aids and crayola crayons and the "neutrality" of the flesh colors that we really wish we had dreamt up first.

Check it out and tell us: Do you agree that the "impartiality" questions posed by many of the Republican senators last week were racist?
