Personally the ageist and anti-feminist comments when right over my head, although I felt a bit of a breeze up there. I kind of thought someone would comment on her looks. If a man in her position had a weathered face, nobody would bat an eye. So, yeah - it's not very cool.

BUT - This woman is the poster child for white privilege. Her arguments, comments as to how this new law will be applied withOUT profiling make absolutely no sense. That didn't deter her from using them. She seems so convinced that she is right that logic has nothing to do with it. She views the world from her position of power and her only concern is to protect that power. To hell with the lives this could disrupt, scar - even destroy.

I'd love to see her walk down the street in a predominantly latino neighbourhood and see if her well-practiced smile helps explain away her racist policy.
