How Not To Cover The First Hispanic Supreme Court Nominee
26 May 2009, 11:30 AM. By Cindy Casares
TMZ decided to compare freshly named U.S. Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor to some woman in La Bamba. (Okay, Elizabeth Peña.) While we realize, “We’re Just Sayin’,” is a recurring, non-discriminatory feature on TMZ that points out celebrities who (often) look (nothing) alike, in this situation where the country is celebrating civil rights progress, it’s probably not a good idea to associate the subject of said progress with something as clichéd and stereotypical as the words, “La Bamba.” Nor is it a good time to bring up whispers of “they all look alike,” considering these two really look nothing alike. We’re just saying.

“Come on Rosie, take a hit man! Put a little mota in our love life!”
“he doesn’t want a wife. he wants a love slave….one that he can kick around”
HAHAHA great line!
Not the first Hispanic. Benjamin Cardozo was from Spain.
@guest: Benjamin Cardozo was from New York, and if you’re talking descent, his forebears were Portuguese.
Wait. If we all look alike then can I start claiming to look like Salma?
