A Soto major upgrade to Pepean Logic

She raised the possibility that people of different races “have basic differences in logic and reasoning.” Oh, no! In this passage, Sotomayor was badly victimized by misspeaking. An appeals-court judge flirting with the existence of Black Logic, or White Logic, or Latino Logic, is preposterous on its face. Again, in an innocent mishap, she must have poorly chosen her words by choosing to include them.

Why do you think it's preposterous that schwartzen have different logic? Women do, all of them, and so do Russians.

I think this is an idea whose time has come.

We have a schwartzlogik realpolitik going here, with it OK for Iran to have an H-bomb.

If that doesn't seem like a different logic to you, I think you've got a different logic too.

Then there's Rotten Logic, who doesn't bother to read the very title, which contains a reference to "Pepean Logic", clearly a different kind of "logic" than Cartesian Logic.
