This is a good example of why redistricting is hard. Is it fair to intentionally distort things to make majority minority districts? Is it actually distorting to have no majority minority districts? Is discrimination ok when used for what’s believed to be positive, or is the act of discrimination always bad? There’s also the fairly racist assumption that the only chance a minority candidate has is in a majority minority district.
There also the weird idiosyncrasy where a handful of states were justifiably labeled as extra racist and deserve extra scrutiny. There isn’t a way to add or remove state from the list though. This has allowed states not on the list to become just as or more racist and not be subjected to scrutiny.
