majority-minority district

Read a random definition: mandamus

A quick definition of majority-minority district:

A majority-minority district is a type of district where the majority of the population belongs to a minority group. This means that the people who belong to the minority group have a greater chance of electing a representative who shares their values and beliefs. For example, if a district is made up of 60% African Americans and 40% Caucasians, a majority-minority district would be one where the African Americans make up the majority of the population.

A more thorough explanation:

A majority-minority district is a type of district where the majority of the population belongs to a minority group. This means that the people who live in the district are mostly from a racial or ethnic group that is not the majority in the larger area.

For example, if a city has a large African American population, a majority-minority district might be created to ensure that African Americans have a strong voice in the political process. This district would be designed so that the majority of the people who live there are African American.

Another example of a majority-minority district might be one that is created to represent a large Hispanic population. In this district, the majority of the people who live there would be Hispanic.

These districts are often created to ensure that minority groups have a fair chance to elect representatives who will represent their interests. By creating a district where the majority of the population is from a minority group, it is more likely that someone from that group will be elected to represent them.
