Fascinating statement by a white woman in the overall context of the discussion.
The statement was specifically made in regards to female jurors tending, to some degree, to at least talk about emotional impact (at least in focus group research settings) moreso than their male counterparts.
The other window showed a black woman nodding her head in agreement most of the time and then finishing by saying "interesting" somewhat under her breath. Since this white woman is mostly on her side on this specific case, I wonder how easy it will be for her to ignore such a statement or at least explain it away in her mind and to others, since to do otherwise would be to force herself to draw a distinction with a person who is currently an "ally". That is something we do not like to do.
