What does it say about this country that that the kind of open, rank bigotry Trump administration officials regularly express towards black immigrants apparently has no social cost because of the number of Americans who quietly agree or don't care.

Also as the dissent points out, just because the impetus for a gerrymander might be partisan doesn't mean you get to do a racial gerrymander!
![In asserting instead that the court’s conclusion was “im-
plausible,” Texas argues that because it was trying to “max-
imize[ ] partisan advantage,” it would have relegated all ra-
cial considerations to the sidelines. Application 11. But
that claim is too simple by half, as this Court has previously
recognized. Because of the “strong correlation[s] between
race and voting behavior,” we have explained, States may
well avail themselves of “race-based districting for ulti-
mately political reasons”—that is, “to advance their parti-
san interests.” Cooper, 581 U. S., at 319, n. 15; see id., at
291, n. 1. So, for example, legislators may “think[ ] that a
proposed district is more ‘sellable’ as a race-based VRA com-
pliance measure than as a political gerrymander and will
accomplish much the same thing.” Id., at 308, n. 7. That is
just what the District Court found that key Texas lawmak-
ers thought in creating and supporting the redistricting
plan. See App. 3, 76; see supra, at 8. The District Court
knew—explained repeatedly—that partisan motives lay be-
neath the new map. See, e.g., App. 2–3, 76–77. But so too
the court found that race was all over it. The lawmakers
created new Republican seats while—indeed, by means of—
converting coalition districts into single-race majority-
minority districts.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreiabu52jsmlbbxiqqhanhhsaqewp4igllmlefchpekcmozqdx3adey@jpeg)
