You're willfully blind and ignorant. A half-Puerto Rican female is nowhere close to a preppie white male.

Yale in the 1980s was in the early stages of integrating more minority students into its historically privileged white male population. The college had admitted its first black student in the 1850s, but by Ms. Ramirez’s time there, people of color comprised less than a fifth of the student body. Women, who had been admitted for the first time in 1969, were still relative newcomers.

Mr. Kavanaugh fit the more traditional Yale mold. His father was a trade association executive, his mother a prosecutor and later a judge. They lived in tony Bethesda, Md., and owned a second home on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. As a student at a prominent Jesuit all-boys school, Georgetown Prep, Mr. Kavanaugh was surrounded by the sons of powerful Washington professionals and politicians. He was an avid sports fan and known to attend an annual teenage bacchanal called “Beach Week,” where the hookups and drinking were more important than the sand and swimming.

Ms. Ramirez grew up in a split-level ranch house in working-class Shelton, Conn., perhaps best known for producing the Wiffle ball, and didn’t drink before college. Her father, who is Puerto Rican, rose through the Southern New England Telephone Company, having started as a cable splicer. Her mother, who is French, was a medical technician.

NYT (late as usual): Kavanaugh accuser had her claims of him sticking his dick in her face at Yale swept under the rug by FBI, and another salt water redneck Sep 15, 08:44

all of the (impeachable) lies Brett Kavanaugh told under oath at his sham confirmation hearing salt water redneck Sep 15, 09:12

Why wasn't it reported to LE at the time? These accusations only appear once the "victims" grow up to be Dem activists {nm} Nobody Sep 15, 09:32

During the 1980s when white male privilege was even worse than it already is today? {nm} Antibody Sep 15, 09:42

There is no such thing as "white privilege". Still, this allegedly happened at Yale. They were in the same socioeconomic status {nm} Nobody Sep 15, 09:54

There is nothing in there that would prevent reporting a sexual assault. You're saying being half Puerto Rican is the reason? {nm} Nobody Sep 15, 10:29

There's no use explaining to you since you don't understand what it's like to be a female minority in a white male dominant world Antibody Sep 15, 10:40

So the police, the District Attorney, the Judge, the jury, its all a white cabal that prevents reporting a sexual assault? Ridiculous {nm} Nobody Sep 15, 10:43

That not true. Rape is the most under-reported crime and almost 2/3 of sexual assaults are not reported. Here are the common reasons why Moviesnob Sep 15, 11:58

If those reasons are so compelling to the victim, why report it now? {nm} Nobody Sep 15, 13:56

In obviously depends on the person and the circumstance, but this one if pretty obvious. They don't want a criminal on the supreme court {nm} Moviesnob Sep 15, 14:17
