[b]Ethnic diversity[/b] (as well as any sort of diversity on SCOTUS, such as sexual, religious, SES, age, etc) increases SCOTUS's ability [b]to avoid bias[/b] by providing 9 (ahem, SHOULD be 9) exceptional minds who don't all think the same way.

If a plurality of opinions didn't make the court smarter, than SCOTUS would be one person, wouldn't it?

You are a really bad troll.[/quote]

You just reaffirmed the thesis that ethnic background can cause biased judgement.[/quote]

Logic failure! Diversity avoids bias, dummy. Or do you think that white male judge who only gave the white male rapist a 6-month sentence was totally cool? Oh, you're a DT supporter, so obviously you're white, so yeah, [i]diversity's bad for you[/i] since it decreases your privilege.  [/quote]
So many logical fallacies in this argument.

1.  He must be white because he's a Trump suported 
Appeal to Probability and Converse Accident.

2. Judge gave rapist six month sentence for Rape because he's white and defendant is white 
False Cause and Argument from Fallacy.

You have no evidence that the judge made the defending decision because the defendant was white.  You're also assuming because the judge is white there was some sort of connection that persuaded his position to give a lenient sentence.

3. Red Herring
The case involving the convicted rapist has not bearing in the discussion at hand and is irrelevant.  Trying to divert the topic

4. Affirming the Disjunct
Because you assume he is white - which you have no way of telling - he must be against diversity.  A or B.  It A therefore can't be B.

You're not sure what PP's ethnicity is, let alone his positions of diversity.  Yet you're assuming he's white and therefore against it.

I could keep going honestly...
