Sotomayor first Hispanic justice no big deal

Adding Sonia Sotomayor to the supreme court is just adding another voice for the ACLU. What is even more irksome is the media angle that trumps all else: our first Hispanic justice. As if that makes for water fountain conversation. Sure, I realize it might for some Hispanics. As for the media, I suggest we trim the nationalities list a little more before we can even consider this as being significant. Here's a few for starters (forgive my ignorance if someone has already filled a spot on this list of yet to be justices):

Albanians
Argentines
Australians
Austrians
Belgians
Brazilians
Britons
Canadians
Catalans
Chinese
Colombians
Cubans
Czechs
Danes
Dominicans
Dutch
Finns
Greeks
Hungarians
Iranians
Japanese
Kazakh
Koreans
Monegasque
New Zealanders
Peruvians
Poles
Portuguese
Puerto Ricans
Quebecois
Russians
Sardinians
Slavs
Slovenes
South Africans
Spaniards
Swedes
Swiss
Ukrainians
Venezuelans
Welsh
