As much as I hate racial politics and don't wish such system to be adopted in the USA, this project is very interesting. Smiley

IMO, you should treat hispanics as a whole "race" and apportion districts for them.

It's institutionalised in the U.S anyway, through the legal requirement to draw black majority districts. Must admit that I do prefer the New Zealand way of dealing with this problem.

Well, even in a majority black district the white minority can vote, a white can run and (theoretically) be elected the same way a black can. The problem is with the legal requirement, but this is not comparable to an entirely racial apportionment.
