Racial gerrymandering is the practice of gerrymandering districts for the explicit purpose of creating an electoral district that is more likely to elect a member of a specific racial or ethnic group. Often such gerrymandering results in majority-minority districts, but other times it may simply create a district in which a particular minority group has a plurality of the population. Racial gerrymandering became a prominent feature of American politics in the early 1990s, though court rulings have curtailed the practice somewhat in more recent years.
