Race and Representation in Congress

Racial and representative ethnic groups, re-division and minority representation in Congress has become one of the most prominent problems in modern political thought. The establishment of the vast majority of ethnic minorities was attacked by some observers due to injustice and racial discrimination and was ultimately rejected by the Supreme Court as illegal. In recent years, ethnographic research on American politics and institutions, especially the parliament system has produced a lot of research and literature.

From the establishment of this country to the civil rights movement, the political representation of ethnic minorities in federal and state governments is still limited. In fact, about 80% of today's parliament is white. Most of the mainstream media always solve this problem. Most people understand that black people and other colored people are deliberately and systematically silent about the majority of American history, but we do not see changes in civil rights It is amazing. Prior to Obama, since the civil rights, the number of minority members of the Diet has not changed relatively (until the 1960s ethnic minorities were rarely electioned).

One of the most controversial issues about Congressional representatives is how the lack of ethnic and female members will affect the true representation of American citizens. For most Congress membership is entirely composed of white people. However, due to the surface of the civil rights movement and the growing awareness of diverse US, the member states of Parliament began to change. Currently, African American, female, Hispanic, Asian American, and American Indians are members of Congress. Many women were participating in Congress as widows, but today almost all women are elected officials, and this trend is rising. Nonetheless, white men continue to dominate the overwhelming majority. Does this mean that the expression is not yet equal? The answer is no. Members often make choices based on members, regardless of race, culture, or gender.
