California should give up non-partisan redistricting. No sense in unilaterally disarming,

Don't worry. If VRA2 is not repealed, the new Department of Justice will make sure that whites get proper VRA districts in California.

There's no history of white people in California or much of anywhere else having systematic trouble voting or getting their interests represented in Congress. But you know that.

That is an interesting case to make given that many whites did not even have a candidate to vote for in the Senate.

With anybody else I’d be shocked that this argument was actually being explicitly made, but with you I’m not somehow.

Traditionally the conservative position on VRA districts was that racial bloc voting by minorities was undesirable and should sooner or later fade from the political scene, not that it would be great if whites started doing it too. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that the brute reality of Donald Trump's America has changed that calculus somewhat.
