She said "I hope that..." which means she hopes diversity is good, but isn't sure if it is. She also said she wasn't sure several times. She was doubting a universal definition of wisdom, which I like, and disagreeing with the notion that men and women look at things exactly the same. Within the quote she's disagreeing with Sandra, which proves she's right.

That's what you guys are talking about, right?

I mean, nobody's arguing that white men have "richer" lives than latina women, are they?

I actually agree that the "I would hope" bit softens it but the full paragraph I posted earlier dispells much of that softening for me.  Particularly when I realize that even her "hoping" that what is at least a somewhat racist comment is true is just as bad as believing it is.

Either way I think a single comment is hardly worth judging a person over.  There is a lot more to go on from her legal opinions that, to me at least, has far more weight to the choice than this. In short this is something to consider, but its a very small part of what should be considered for any complete or worthwhile assessment of her as a judge much less her as a person.
