    2. A white woman claiming discrimination against fe-males may be in no better position to represent all women than aBlack woman who claims discrimination as a Black female andwants to represent all females.

      This follows a pattern in legal opinions where the court makes it clear when interpreting policies/statutes that deal race, that white is the default.
