The assumption in that sentence implies that:
1. The wise Latina's life experience trumps a white males life experience in most cases.
2. A wise white male with the richness of his life experience would more often than not reach a worse conclusion than Latina woman who hasn't lived that life.

So, as a white male, clearly my life experience is of little value. I lose again because of the color of my skin, and gender. It is a racist remark!

Or maybe it means that in a panel of pretty much old, white men a latino woman would bring the variety that would enrich that panel.
