DC also has more people than 2 states. Basically if you take the top 52 subdivisions of the US by population, the only 2 that aren't states "just so happen" to be the two with the highest minority populations.

Well, DC was very explicitly created so that the capital would not be in any state, so while they should get senators and representatives, they should not become a state.

then we don't have these pesky demographics to flare up on us
