New Zealand style apportionment in USA.

As much as I hate racial politics and don't wish such system to be adopted in the USA

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.

Yeah; a case in point (appropriately enough) is what actually happens in many of the places in New Zealand that have large Maori populations.

Examples would be much appreciated.

I will make a map of Maori by electorate at some point and everything will be clear

But Northland (37% Maori) is a safe National Party seat, held even in the 2002 election.
