> a whole bunch of people destroying the purpose of attempted representation increases for minorities, while claiming it doesn't work because they broke it, is so comically disingenuous I have to assume you're doing it to harm us all This is an unfortunate reality when it comes to implementing government policy. Regulations have material outcomes, and people will (legally and, sometimes, deceptively) adjust their behavior to take advantage of these outcomes. In some cases, these adjustments reduce, or even negate, the intended benefit of the policy. It doesn't mean that the original policy was wrong, or even ineffective. It's just that unexpected consequences can emerge over time from dynamic processes, and policy implementation is never as simple as "see problem, implement policy, done".
