How is democracy served when the majority is under-represented?

I take it you're for democracy by race, not by the decision of the citizens? How do you know the majority is under represented? THEY voted for whom they wanted in office. THEY felt the winning candidates would represent them. That's how a democracy is run. It's an oxymoron to say the majority is under represented when the majority of voters elected the winning candidates. Better read up on the Constitution again. Says nothing in there that our legislative, judicial, and administrative bodies have to be diverse in nature. It's color blind. Apparently, you are not.

Mishka, I take it you didn't even bother to read your own post. You certainly did not answer my question. I will keep asking until you do. How is democracy served when the majority is under-represented?

It's served when the majority are allowed to freely choose their representatives. When did diversity overrule democracy? Who are you to say the majority is under-represented? Either they choose to participate, or they don't. But they have to live with the result of that decision and the decision of those that did choose to participate. Is your city council evenly representative of the local population?
You don't serve democracy. You live in a democracy. And you recognize the will of the voter, not that of some arbitrary group that thinks they know better.

mishka, you are posting in the current events section. You might read what the current events are restricted to. It says "current events that are non-political". Why are you posting this here? Is it because you can't read English very well? Is it because you don't understand English very well? Is it because you have tons of disrespect for this forum and its members? Or is it all the above?

This is a current event, illustrating the degradation if our society away from the principles of our founders. It is neither democrat or republican. It shows how the PC culture is subverting society. That you have no problem with what occurred illustrates my point.

I see that you don't understand the definition of Democracy mishka.
Full Definition of DEMOCRACY 1a : government by the people; especially : rule of the majority 1b : a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections
2: a political unit that has a democratic government
3 capitalized : the principles and policies of the Democratic party in the United States <from emancipation Republicanism to New Deal Democracy — C. M. Roberts>
4: the common people especially when constituting the source of political authority
5: the absence of hereditary or arbitrary class distinctions or privileges

The founders destroyed the pre-existing nations of the American Indians, stole their land, and massacred them. Those are the principles you hold most dear. They also profited from slavery and demanded total obedience of their women. Those are also principles you hold dear. They viewed their European ancestry as superior to all other cultures and races. This is another principle you hold dear. So of course you have no use for diversity, for tolerance of people who are different in any way from you. You fear the inclusion of people who are different in our society. In particular by speaking about the color of a person's skin, you reveal your racist attitudes that coincide with the racist attitudes of your favorite websites and blogs.

You're stuck in the past. What have you done to make amends to former slaves and Indians? Anything? I have no use for diversity over democracy. If you watched any of the interviews with the kids at the school, many said they didn't care about the color of the candidate. That's how far out of touch you are. MLK Jr. wanted people to be judged by their character. You're still stuck on skin color. That's the racist problem with the left. I believe in judging people by what they say and do. You judge them on their skin color. So whose the racist? Not me. Not the kids in the school. It's the left and the principal.
You want diversity for diversity's sake. What does that get you? A rainbow that doesn't reflect content or character. I don't see people of color as different than me. You obviously do. So whose the racist?

The modern day Nazi points at everyone else and call them a true racist or a traitor to the white race. Congratulations mishka on revealing your racist identity. Your repetition of your condemnation of the Southern Poverty Law Center (which continues to battle white supremacist organizations) was a clue for the uninitiated. I see you are no longer laughing out loud. Creep.
mishka said "whose the racist?" "whose" is a word that denotes possession. For instance "whose party is the racist party?" and "whose President adopted the Southern Stategy?" "Who's is a word that is a contraction of who and is. For instance "mishka, who's a racist, thinks everyone who isn't a Nazi is a racist."
