text:  The population of the United States, as you mentioned, is about 59 percent white. Do you know what percentage of Congress is white? I don't, but I know that we finally have 60 members of the Congressional Black Caucus, which is progress. But even then, 75 percent. White Americans make up 60 percent, 59 percent of the U.S. population, 75 percent of Congress. Men are 50 percent.
