A minority-majority district is a congressional district whose boundaries are drawn to maximize minority voting power.

Congressional districts are administrative divisions of a larger administrative region that represent a region's population in the larger congressional body. In other countries, they are known as electoral districts, legislative districts, wards, and electorates. Notably, electoral districts in Australia are referred to as "electorates" or "seats," whereas in Canada, they are referred to as "constituencies" or, more colloquially, "ridings." Congress has districts in the United States, the Philippines, and Japan.

Majority-minority districts may be established to avoid or correct violations of the Voting Rights Act of 1965's prohibition on drawing redistricting plans that limit a racial or language minority's ability to elect its preferred candidates. Affirmative racial gerrymandering may result in majority-minority districts in some cases. The importance of drawing district lines to create majority-minority districts is debated both within and outside of minority communities.

il63 [147K]

Answer:

That argument is an example of a falacy masquerading as a valid inference.

Explanation:

Fallacy means error, deception or falsehood. Usually a fallacy is a misconception that is conveyed as true, misleading others. On the other hand, when an argument conveying a true idea is used to derive a false conclusion from false assumptions, the inference is valid.

Based on this, we can conclude that the argument quoted in the above question is a fallacy disguised as valid inference, because the speaker of the argument provides the information as a true statement, but it is wrong to draw conclusions about how Anthony will react after his accident, based on how other people reacted.
