Xavier Becerra, affirmative action congressman

This past fall my congressman, Xavier Becerra, ran unopposed. As if that wasn't enough to make a mockery of democracy take a look at the "district" he "represents":


This is racial gerrymandering at its worst. This is NOT democracy but racist political fixing. The percentages below refer to Hispanic or Latino constituents. Do you think a non-Hispanic or Latino has a chance in hell of winning this district? Of course not....and that's the idea.




Congressman Becerra refers to his district as "multicultural". Hispanic or Latinos make up over 70% of this "district", but 44% of LA county, 32.4% of the state as a whole and 12.5% for the whole country.

By the way, these screenshots come from the US Census website.
