Suppose the US remained majority non-Hispanic white, but some states had a consistent majority of their voters as minorities. For example, suppose Mississippi's racial demographics were inverted, so blacks were now a majority and all four Congressional districts could compactly be drawn as majority-black. Would the VRA imply that they must be drawn this way? Or alternatively, if a compact white majority district could be drawn - given that whites are now a numerical minority within the state, would the VRA imply that that district must be created?
Would either of these answers change if the US as a whole was plurality non-Hispanic white instead? Plurality Hispanic? Plurality black? Majority black?
