MA-8 is 30% Black - Representatives don't need to know who they respresent.

[NQ 952]

Stole this from @Elbe

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massachusetts's_8th_congressional_district

Ethnicity

• 77.12% White
• 9.56% Black
• 7.88% Asian
• 5.88% Hispanic
• 0.06% Native American
• 5.39% other

Just a small 21% rounding error.

There’s really no excuse for a politician to be wrong about such easily-attainable information.

People of color doesn't just mean black people, it just means "visibly non-white".

It's impressive a godzilla of tech can't manage to open wikipedia.

Why can't people bring districts together in some form of unified state.

All I can say is that at least the 8th MA district isn't as bad as Marylands third.

Does any of this shit make sense?

Ahhhhhh. Yeah fuck SJW terminology.

Except the district is 77% white, so the highest possible percentage of PoC is 23% in the broadest sense of the definition, not 30%.

Also the asian population percentage is just flat-out wrong.

Politicians rounding numbers within 10% is perfectly reasonable, I think the limit for people in the field in politics is exaggerating for 33.33% or more.

If you think that's bad, please don't look at the Pennsylvania congressional map the courts are fighting over right now.

But gerrymandering is never gonna go away unless the courts get involved, because surprise surprise, the party in power is not going to throw away a tool used to stay in power.

I can fancy myself a baker but f I don't produce a single edible cake, I'm a fraud.
Same can be said about Wu and politics.

Same deal about John and saying he's a woman.

....So you're saying she's still shit at math because that's 23 percent if you're counting Asians.

Smart poltical scum bags use a different metric so you can't call their numbers out. For example want to bash econ use ui1. Praise it ue6. Stats are fun can make them to say anything with a remote degree of honesty. You'd learn this early in school. But college drop out wu probably didn't take stat one... a class all engineers would have taken.

Wu is not smart or poltically important.
