Yeah speaking personally the problem is less "Catholics are an overrepresented minority" and more that in the last 50 years they've abruptly switched from an oppressed religious minority to one of *the* dominant religious groups doing the oppressing (in America).

Which really is sort of part and parcel with Irish-Americans, Italian-Americans, Polish-Americans, etc. all becoming fully assimilated and the backbone of American whiteness rather than something foreign to it.

I've always found the Senate is the ideal tool to explain representation to people. It's not just the exact mapping of 100 to percentage, but it's a manageable number to grasp is terms of what a room full of senators should look like, and what we actually see.

I don't really like this kind of argument because, to be blunt, I am in favor of "overrepresentation" of minorities That's the whole fucking point, as minorities they need more power in order to protect themselves
