History is replete with tales of Democrats voting, acting or agitating against minorities. It's unpopular to say, but the deep south was a Democratic bastion during the civil rights era. Now the Clark County Commission, Democrats all, have elected not to allow predominately minority districts to be formed as the 10 year census allocation of population suggests should happen.
Why you ask? Of the seven commissioners, all but one are day-glo white. If, as suggested, two or three primarily minority districts were created, a couple of them would be out of a job no matter how liberal they are. Can't be giving up that power just for the sake of the constitution, now can we.
