America has a deeply confused image of itself that is in
perpetual tension. We are a nation that takes pride in our
ethnic diversity, recognizing its importance in shaping
our society and in adding richness to its existence. Yet,
we simultaneously insist that we can and must function
and live in a race- and color-blind way that ignores these
very differences that in other contexts we laud.

Sonia Sotomayor
