majority-minority district

Read a random definition: legal research

A quick definition of majority-minority district:

A majority-minority district is a type of district where the majority of the population belongs to a minority group. This means that the people who belong to the minority group have a greater chance of electing a representative who shares their values and beliefs. For example, if a district is made up of 60% African Americans and 40% Caucasians, a majority-minority district would be one where the African Americans make up the majority of the population.

A more thorough explanation:

A majority-minority district is a type of district where the majority of the population belongs to a minority group. This means that the people who live in the district are mostly from a racial or ethnic group that is not the majority in the larger area.

For example, if a city has a large African American population, a majority-minority district might be created to ensure that African Americans have a strong voice in the political process. This district would be designed so that the majority of the people who live there are African American.

Another example of a majority-minority district might be one that is created to represent a large Hispanic population. In this district, the majority of the people who live there would be Hispanic.

These districts are often created to ensure that minority groups have a fair chance to elect representatives who will represent their interests. By creating a district where the majority of the population is from a minority group, it is more likely that someone from that group will be elected to represent them.

@NemoPropheta: mine was on a chill team so i had a good time, but apple works like a bunch of little companies that report to the same ppl so its a little isolating if you're not in the same office/don't go out much. i didn't take RO to intern again

@Sex-Drive: we have entirely different living standards if you think 60k is "hardly anything to live off of:"
i make around that in a hcol area and feel like im balling out while saving over 20% of my income
@Sex-Drive: Seconding what Windy's saying. I live in a LCOL and I'm fully able to support myself and my family on my paycheck alone. $60k in a HCOL while single was living check to check.

if I want to transfer to nyu is it better to go to washu or cardozo
(also why does nyu accept so many transfers from brooklyn lmao, what other t125 will let you transfer that high)
15:07
transferring is grades dependent so "better" is a little weird to define - a lot of ppl don't want to give up schollys/networks for ranking purposes. that being said im going to dozo and hoping for a nyu transfer lol
15:08
i think they take a lot from brooklyn just by the nature of being a nyc school. 3 out of 15 transfers out of cardozo went to nyu last year which is technically a good sign but you'd consider that the rate of ppl at washu wanting to move to nyc and pay sticker after a year is probably lower than the rate of ppl at nyc schools who want to
15:09
i dont really know how important it is to be median vs 75th of transfer gpa but id imagine keeping a B+/A- average is pretty hard in 1L and easier said than done
