And when the amount of white professional basketball players matches that of the general population, no doubt.
Why does this matter?
In a world where racism is ended, should we expect to have to have every governing legislative body sliced up nicely with racial demographics that match the general population? No, of course not. There's really no value in that whole idea, and I would go much farther to say its inherently racist itself. It assumes all those of a minority group are homogeneous, and their needs can only be met by one of their own persuasion.
In a world with no/little racism, those positions could be filled with people of any race and no one would notice the difference.
