Just stop talking about the NPV. We decide elections by the electoral college, and should continue to do so, so that candidates have to gain the confidence of people both on the coasts and far from the coasts. In fact, the media should refrain from calculating the NPV, as it holds no relevance.

So should we allocate 100 electoral votes to minorities? After all, that way candidates would have to take into account whites and non whites.

No. In order to win key states, candidates do need to get some minority votes. Even Trump got like 31% among Hispanics and 10% among Blacks. And in any case, people can't be trusted to be honest about what race they are.
