From The Washington Post:
"The hidden biases at play in the U.S. Senate"
"People of color get significantly less representation than White voters. And that’s not the only way the Senate is skewed…
White Americans are significantly overrepresented in the Senate today — by 14 percent, according to The Post’s analysis."

@ahimsa_pdx analyses like these are silly because they misunderstand the way the Senate was designed. They look at the wrong chamber of Congress.
The House is supposed to be representing people, not the Senate. To say that the Senate is not representing people is, well right, it's not supposed to.
It's like complaining that hammers aren't good screwdrivers.
