I can't imagine why this matters, but yes, US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is a white male of Italian-American descent.
The real question is: Why are most supreme court justices white? The answer is either the function of a supreme court justice is best suited by a white male, or the function of electing a supreme court justice is implicit in bias.
There were 101 MALE justices appointed to the US Supreme Court before Sandra Day O'Connor was appointed on July 7, 1981.
As of July 31, 2010, the US Supreme Court has six male justices and two female justices. If Elena Kagan is confirmed to succeed retired Justice John Paul Stevens, the Court will have six men (66.6%) and three women (33.3%). If Kagan is seated, this will be the first time in history three women have been on the Supreme Court bench at the same time.
101 if you count John Rutledge and Charles Evans Hughes twice as they were appointed left the court then were reappointed.
Yes, if you mean Thurgood Marshall. President Johnson appointed Justice Thurgood Marshall to the US Supreme Court in 1967. He served until his retirement in 1993, when he was succeeded by Justice Clarence Thomas, the second African-American on the Court. Justice Thomas is currently an incumbent on the Court.
There is no such recorded evidence as to who the very first black male model was.
There had been 101 justices appointed to the Supreme Court before O'Connor. She was the 102nd in 1981 and Ruth Bader Ginzberg became the 107th justice in 1993.
Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan are current Supreme Court justices. They are women. Sandra Day O'Connor is a former Supreme Court justice. She is also a woman. There are no constitutional qualifications for Supreme Court Justices. No age requirement, education requirement, or even a citizenship requirement. Never mind a protected class.
At present (2011) six of the nine US Supreme Court justices are male: Chief Justice John Roberts, Jr. Justice Antonin Scalia Justice Anthony Kennedy Justice Clarence Thomas Justice Stephen Breyer Justice Samuel Alito
