Being a minority myself, I strongly believe people should be treated as individuals and based on their merit and characters, instead of as members of various identity group.

I haven’t seen “It’s Okay to Be White” in *weeks*. It is like meeting an old friend!

Atlas continues to butcher the VRA, lol

There are currently not any places where White voters satisfy the second prong of the Gingles test, and even in places where they hypothetically might, like the Deep South, you would still have to demonstrate "a totality of circumstances" prevents White-preferred candidates from being elected, such as a history of official discrimination or a lack of winning White candidates. 

Easy "no" vote for me.
