Can you explain why the Judge Sotomayor "wise latina" comment is racist?

"I would hope that a wise Latina woman, with the richness of her experiences, would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life." I never could get a handle on how exactly that was racist. For those of you who feel it's racist could you please explain why you feel that way.
