Would you say that when 40% of the population is non-white that this:





...happens when public officials are selected democratically to represent that population?

Or do you think there's at all a possibility that these groups still don't have the same opportunity of access to positions of power than whites and that there is some merit to proactively working on equality of outcome in the short term until the underlying problems like gerrymandering, a class based education system and a two-tier justice system can be remedied?
