minorities

so the daily tar heel today has an article on roberts' confirmation hearings, and accompanying thie article is a little sidebar (whihc unfortunately I can't find online) with bullet points like "the last time a supreme court chief justice was appointed without having served on the bench was warren burger, appointed in 1969." the last point on this little infographic is "there are only two justices of minority descent: clarence thomas and antonin scalia." um, what? scalia is italian, right? if italians are a minority, what about the jews? hello, there's a nice jewish girl on the bench! wtf, DTH editors! not that ginsberg is even mentioned by name in the bullet point about there only being one female member now that o'connor's retired, but whatever.
