Interesting that, in the race numbers, the percentage of black Congresspeople mirrors the national share fairly well (10% vs. 13%) but the Hispanic (national share of 15.4%) and Asian (national share of 4.5%) are so far off. Probably due to gerrymandering and more concentrated black populations.

Many Hispanics and even some Asians can't vote because they are not citizens.   Even Hispanic majority districts might not be once voter registration is taken into account.
