it's important to determine whether she actually is a minority and whether she actually did face discrimination in her past.

Why?

My guess is that she never faced serious discrimination. My guess is also that she never achieved any benefits from affirmative action - that she would have gotten into exactly the same schools if her surnmame had been Smith.

But so what? She's obviously more sympathetic to the problems of Hispanic-Americans than Justice Roberts, whether or not she ever suffered any discrimination herself.
