It's like saying a gasoline car can't work when you have only diesel available.

I mean, it wouldn't? If there's no gasoline available your car won't work. Terrible analogy.

I assume from your explanation that the new system would either disenfranchise non-whites or their population percentages would be changed. That's the only way you could ever possibly get direct democracy to work.

You can't run a gasoline engine on diesel. Period.

Just like you can't say well that system wouldn't work because look at these numbers from living with this system.
