26. Minorities have to prove racism when it occurs. When

a person feels he or she, if a minority, is a victim of racism I hear, "that is a tough charge" or "I don not think it was meant that way" blah, blah, blah... They never ask a white, male nominee if his race and gender impact his view of the law because the law is written from his perspective, largely. The baseline for everything is rooted in that perspective and if they fear that a person will move that bar then, the nominee, are asked to prove their loyalty to it.
