Wouldn't matter who it was....the key is the "richness of experience".
If you are one of the many white men who have that, then you can bring that to bear. If you are a guy like GW who was born to wealthy and influential parents and drank your way through life, then I would submit you would have less wisdom to bring to the court.
So, yes, that statement could be true.
A wise white man who rose from the trailer parks to be #1 in his class and had multitudes of diverse experiences would be VASTLY superior to the daughter of a rap star who was raised in Beverly Hills with a silver spoon and never got out of those circles much.
I guess it's a question of whether one thinks true wisdom comes automatically at birth, or whether it is the sum total of their experiences and hardships, trials and tribulations. We all know that steel forged by fire is superior to that which is not.
