The net result of the electoral college is to value the per person votes of certain states above others. Now it also happens that, when you do the math and take the average value of a vote per state and then combine it all and divide by ethnicity, that the average white person's vote counts significantly more than the average minority person's vote.

I have not done the recent math, so perhaps somebody could track it down, but the old numbers were something in the .92 range for minorities.

So, in other words, if you say a white person's vote counts as 1.0, then a minority person's vote counts about .92.

You can see why this is considered strange and skewed when viewed from an international perspective.

Americans are equal, as the old saying goes, but white Americans are equal-ler.
