The Eurocentric consensus also assumes some form of assurance of certainty and continuity from the past to the present to he future.Sotomayor's current or past expressed virws on certain issues are viewed as predictors of her future judgment and decision making .Psychology is an imperfect scientific journey becauce the certainty of prediction can not always be assured. Sotomayor's experiences as a latina can not easily be experienced by white men "who have not gone through that type of experiences" (my emphasis).What others fail to consider that the Eurocentric paradigm is also a type of experience- which pitters rationality against emotionality,and objectivity against subjectivity.The problem is that believing that one is more grounded in reality than the other.
