Are majority-minority districts good or bad for minority representation in Congress?
What will be an ideal response?
Students could provide different answers here but should provide some competing evidence. On the one hand, most minority representatives come from majority-minority districts and the racial composition of a district is the biggest predictor of the race of its representative. On the other hand, majority-minority districts may amount to “packing” in a way that can “waste” minority votes and skew surrounding districts to be disproportionately white.
