Let's back up just a step or so...
Redistricting doesn't necessarily help ethnic minorities. Perhaps a better way to ask the question is, "What is the purpose of redistricting?"
Redistricting is regularly used to adjust congressional districts to reflect shifts in population numbers. The US Constitution and most state constitutions require this. Redistricting in this sense doesn't help ethnic minorities or anyone else in particular.
But there is a type of redistricting that is designed to help ethnic minorities and other minority groups. It's called "gerrymandering." The word came from combining the last name of a 19th century governor -- "Gerry" -- with the word "salamander," which was used to describe the shape of a district that had been doctored to produce a certain result in an election. "Gerrymandering," the art of redistricting for a specific pre-determined outcome, has been around for centuries.
Skillful gerrymandering can produce voting districts that defy any logic that might be based on geography or other common factor -- but that unite a voting bloc that can be depended upon to vote a certain way. If gerrymandering is aimed toward helping an ethnic minority, for example, it would involve constructing a voting district that includes an overwhelming majority of voters of that ethnic persuasion, without much regard to any other factor. The resulting district, when looked at on a map, might resemble anything, even a salamander, and might include city blocks, or even selected parts of city blocks, that are completely isolated from the remainder of the district. But the district as a whole would be depended on to render a solid vote on a certain issue or candidate or party.
Gerrymandering, or "skillful redistricting," if you will, has been used for generations to enable minority populations -- primarily black -- in the US to be able to dependably and predictably send one of their own to office. It has been used to modify election results to favor minorities in spite of their locations, occupations, habits, etc.
As an example, three voting districts may have a 35% black population, but no clear black majority in any one district. In such cases, historically three whites would be elected to represent these districts. Once "gerrymandered," the districts would be redrawn, literally block by block, house by house, to engineer a different outcome. The resulting voting district would be offensive to any city or county engineer. But the next election would result in a solid vote for a black from the gerrymandered district.
Thus, gerrymandering, the political manipulation of a voting district, is an exercise in "outcome-based" politics.
redistricting. It involves redrawing boundaries for electoral districts to ensure equal representation based on population changes.
The process of setting up new congressional districts after reapportionment is called redistricting. It involves redrawing the boundaries of congressional districts to ensure each district has roughly the same population size based on the latest census data.
The main minority groups in the region vary by country and include Indigenous peoples, ethnic minorities, religious minorities, and immigrant communities. Examples include Native Americans in the United States, Indigenous populations in Latin America, Kurds in the Middle East, and Rohingya Muslims in Southeast Asia.
transnational minorities are groups of people or communities with shared cultural attributes a distinct language and culture and a collective conciosness and history, but without a nation to show for it. a good example are the kurds who are apart of iran, iraq and turkey but do not have their own nation or country.
No, the disparities cannot solely be attributed to the preferences of women and minorities. Structural inequalities, unconscious biases, and systemic barriers also significantly contribute to the disparities seen between white males and women or minorities. Societal norms, lack of opportunities, and discriminatory practices play key roles in perpetuating these disparities.
Redistricting of legislative districts is done to reflect changes in population, and to ensure that ethnic minorities are fairly represented.

minorities refer to any ethic group in a country or area that is not the largest ethnic group. For instance, in the United States Caucasians (whites) are the majority ethnic group; while Blacks, Asians, Native Americans and so on are minorities, or minority ethnic groups. However a minority is not limited to being an ethnic group, for example left handed people are a minority in the world. However, usually when minorities are referenced in politics they do mean ethnic groups.
There are several ethnic minorities that would qualify, but the largest and most pronounced of these is the KURDS. Other ethnic minorities that want autonomy or complete independence are the Assyrians, the Marsh Arabs, and the Turcomen.
