Whites are not a protected minority under the VRA. As to how Mississippi would have to be drawn... depends on communities of interest under the Gingles test. Tongue

If this is true, that the VRA doesn't protect Whites, couldn't it face a possible legal challenge based on the "equal protection clause" of the 14th Amendment?  The Constitution is colorblind.

Indeed, that seems pretty unfair. Still won't happen, though.
