Now just hold on a dang minute. Where is the Viking descendant representation? What about Canadians? Oh, you think it okay to just leave them out constantly? And we won't even speak of the most significant group: Fans of Gilligan's Island.

I have a good idea. Why don't we just vote for the most qualified candidate and quit trying to color code. I thought MLK said something about the heart and not the skin

Maybe the leftist schlitZ should run a multiracial candidate to balance things out.

What's the make-up of the current batch of commissioners?

Nope, sorry, Hispanics can't prefer Black leadership because, obviously, black people can't represent non-black people (and same for all other races).

But you make a point, I guess we also need 1 person that's both Asian and Native American, to balance that out. Preferably he or she will also be part Hawaiian, and we will have to alternative between a male and female with that genetic makeup every other term.

I don't have trans information in the census, but I guess we need at least a few openly gay and/or trans commissioners, too.

Fair is fair!!

It's madness!

And who will all the transgender persons get to vote for ?

And what about all the other genders??

Let's just stick to voting for Republicans and trust that they have everyone's best interests at heart.

What if Hispanics prefer Black leadership?

And, who will represent people of Native American ancestry ?

And who will people of multi racial ancestry vote for ??

In Wilkes, the population is 86% white, 5% black, 7% Hispanic.

51% female, and 22% over age 65.

74% are homeowners.

15% have a Bachelor's degree or higher.

56% have a job, and 19% are in poverty.


So to be equal, we need to have 100 County Commissioners.

86 of them need to be white, 6 black, and 8 Hispanic.

43 of the white commissioners, 3 of the black, and 4 of the Hispanic commissioners need to be female.

19 of the white, 2 of the black, and 2 of the Hispanic commissioners need to be over 65.

63 of the white commissioners, 4 of the black, and 5 of the Hispanic commissioners need to be homeowners.

13 of the white, 1 of the black, and 1 of the Hispanic commissioners need to have a Bachelor's or higher.

48 of the white, 3 of the black, and 4 of the Hispanic commissioners need to have a job, while 16 of the white, 1 of the black, and 1 or 2 of the Hispanic commissioners need to be in poverty.

And, of course, white people can only vote for the white commissioners, black people can only vote black, and Hispanics can only vote Hispanic. Males can only vote for males, homeowners can only vote for homeowners, etc, so that each demographic is fairly and equally represented.

THEN it will be fair and equal! Right?

(if you don't get that this is satire...)
