It’s not just fine. It’s offensive for you to object to racist maps designed to disenfranchise non whites. How dare you

Texas wasn’t going to gerrymander/draw new maps when Trump called for more partisan gerrymanders. They just started it when DOJ told them to erase majority minority districts! AKA to target and use race.

They did this through things like eugenic marriage laws, better baby contests, and fitter family contests. Some of this is certainly about preventing disease, but most of it is about preserving & supporting white supremacy. Only white protestant babies, for example, could win a better baby contest.
