It's relatively easy to draw a congressional district where whites are the 4th largest racial group. I'm curious how far this can go, though. So, a challenge: Draw a relatively compact congressional district where three minority groups all have at least 28% of the population by CVAP. Can you hit 29%? 30%???
Alternative: Draw a congressional district where whites are in 4th place, and they trail the racial group that's in 3rd place by at least 18%. How large can one make this difference?

Did a more "legit" version of my 2021 CA redistricting based on the above PG&D thread, but with no explicit intention to gerrymander outside of Orange County. I tried to align CD boundaries with county and municipal borders as much as possible. I also tried to center some of the Bay Area and SoCal districts around distinct Asian communities of a certain size (e.g. the ethnic Chinese of the San Gabriel Valley, NW Orange County's Little Saigon, the "PMC" and "Blue Collar" Asian cores of Santa Clara County)
