Can Republicans have as many white house members as they want?

When will Repubicans stop dishonestly pretending that white is not a race?

Definitions for New Race and Ethnicity Categories​

Categories developed in 1997 by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) that are used to describe groups to which individuals belong, identify with, or belong in the eyes of the community. The categories do not denote scientific definitions of anthropological origins. The designations are used to categorize U.S. citizens, U.S. residents, and other eligible non-citizens. Eligible noncitizens include all students who completed high school or a GED equivalency within the United States (including DACA and undocumented students) and who were not on an F-1 nonimmigrant student visa at the time of high school graduation. Find more information about other eligible (for financial aid purposes) noncitizens .

Individuals are asked to first designate ethnicity as:

• Hispanic or Latino or
• Not Hispanic or Latino

Second, individuals are asked to indicate one or more races that apply among the following:

• American Indian or Alaska Native
• Asian
• Black or African American
• Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander
• White

Let's start with the first truth: By our government's definition, white is a race.

So, let's get to the second truth.

How did voting districts become all-white?

There were several ways, with residential segregation enforced by the government being the main one.

Ferguson (1896) established "separate but equal" zoning ordinances that specified exclusively black, white, and mixed districts and legally established segregation in housing opportunities. Many large and mid-sized cities in the South and mid-South adopted racial zoning.

Third truth: All white voting districts were created because of race, but we do not see all white districts being broken up, so:

Can Republicans have as many white house members as they want?

The notion I get is that your question here misses the mark. From what I've observed Republican opinion of this race identification business is a Democrat thing and they're simply not into it. And that's how I see their approach on redistricting. For purpose of gaining advantage it's a (R) versus (D) matter, not black versus white.

I'm not a Republican and so perhaps I'm tacking onto them my view of the matter. But I suspect not and they can correct me if I've gotten the wrong impression over the years.
