What will you do when Biden is President?

How does a party end up with an ethnically homogenous house and senate when all ethnicities have equal opportunity? I'd say it doesn't. There is racial inequality.

Do you agree with that? If you don't, please explain why the GOP is so white.

There is reason to believe that there is some imbalance of representation on the margins due to things like gerrymandering, and the effect is probably a couple percentage point difference than what they should be.

Other than that, the vast majority of identity representation in government appears to closely matche identity of voters.

Also, I am not comfortable talking about it like this, because I believe it is bad thinking and possibly racist. I'd rather we have a bunch of white people vote for Tim Scott instead of us getting bogged down in the poor thinking that there is some positive that comes from people voting based on identity such that demographics of representation reflect demographics of population.

That strikes me as being identity motivated, and I'm not into thinking like that.

The longest serving current black Senator is Tim Scott (R).

I've spent a ton of time trying to figure out why there are certain demographic differences in voter preferences, and I haven't come up with any solid theory. The most telling item, in my estimation, is the urban/rural divide. But it by no means tells everything.
