I agree with your point!
My point was some members of ATS rather flippantly state that outside of the CBC the rest of congress is white. That is not so and the chart demonstrates it.

The CBC. What a way to keep racism alive and divide the blacks from the whites.
Backwards much?
We got a CWC or would that be bad?

I don't understand why we have a Congressional Black Caucus. How are we ever going to get together if there is still segregation in Congress?
People have to stop thinking about the color of people's skin - totally stop thinking about it, stop making it part of any discussion or decision, stop using it as an excuse, stop using it to claim privilege or discrimination, just stop it. That goes for everyone, no matter what color our skin is. That can start with Congress.

Indeed!
Let's run the numbers for the rest.
Black ... 9% of the population, should have 48, they have 49.
Hispanic ... 6.5% , should have 35, they have 38.
Asian American ... 3.6, should have 19, they have 15.
Where oh where is the problem people, I don't see one!
As usual, getting your knickers in a knot over a non problem.
