I realized you were going by percentages and I went with raw numbers. My point was simply that there are far more white people in quantity who would be negatively affected by these “racially motivated” voter “suppression” laws than the entire black population of any class in this country...basically, we are bitching about a pretty insignificant block of potential minority voters being “racially” “suppressed” at the ballot box as compared to the entire segment of the population that would be negatively affected.

Also...how in the hell can a demographic be “underrepresented” in poverty if the stated goal is for everyone to be out of poverty? Jesus, it’s the same irrational argument that everyone should be free to be a unique individual regardless of their difference...but...we want everyone to be the same and have the same amount of all the same shite. Uniquely.

Well, I did not use the term as any sort of either argument OR judgment. Simply as shorthand for whether group’s percentage of those in poverty is higher or lower than the same group’s percentage of the population.

For example, if a group comprises 1% of the population and 25% of those in poverty, that group is “over%represented” under this definition.
