Answer 1

Answer: The House has seen more significant change in minority representation than the Senate.

Explanation:

Even though both chambers of Congress in the United States of America have seen change in their racial makeup, they are still predominantly white.

However, what the charts over the years have shown is that the US Senate is lagging far behind the House of Representatives in terms of change to its composition and the inclusion of diversity groups such as women, Blacks, Hispanics and other races.

For instance, in the current House of Representative, there are 104 reps who are either African American, Asian or Hispanic whereas that figure stands at only 10 in the Senate. Yes the Senate has less members but that the difference is still plain to see.
