Like, I don’t quite get this, but drawing up (or redrawing) congressional maps based on proportion of blacks living there seems pretty insane to me…
Like, the fuck? You guys do that now, lol?

I mean, we have that here, too...
But doing a redistribution openly based on racial makeup, and two "conservative" supreme court justices siding with the decision..?
That's wildly unusual to me...
Australia doesn't have a politicised supreme court (well, not in the same partisan sense that the US does), but even the idea of doing openly race-based redistributions... That'd be illegal here, lol.
Again, remember that black = Democrat. Literally with something like 90% certainty. In areas that have high percentages of blacks, redistricting on political leaning can be almost identical to redistricting on race.
