The multiple cases of voter disenfranchisement being struck down, with key Republicans admitting they are trying to prevent minorities from voting, don't count?

Gerrymandering doesn't actually deny anyone the right to vote, regardless of how flagrant it is.

Gerrymandering doesn't actually deny anyone the right to vote, regardless of how flagrant it is.
Last year:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/07/29/the-smoking-gun-proving-north-carolina-republicans-tried-to-disenfranchise-black-voters/?utm_term=.1d12b485133a
In particular, the court found that North Carolina lawmakers requested data on racial differences in voting behaviors in the state. "This data showed that African Americans disproportionately lacked the most common kind of photo ID, those issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)," the judges wrote.
So the legislators made it so that the only acceptable forms of voter identification were the ones disproportionately used by white people. "With race data in hand, the legislature amended the bill to exclude many of the alternative photo IDs used by African Americans," the judges wrote. "The bill retained only the kinds of IDs that white North Carolinians were more likely to possess."
The data also showed that black voters were more likely to make use of early voting — particularly the first seven days out of North Carolina's 17-day voting period. So lawmakers eliminated these seven days of voting. "After receipt of this racial data, the General Assembly amended the bill to eliminate the first week of early voting, shortening the total early voting period from seventeen to ten days," the court found.
Most strikingly, the judges point to a "smoking gun" in North Carolina's justification for the law, proving discriminatory intent. The state argued in court that "counties with Sunday voting in 2014 were disproportionately black" and "disproportionately Democratic," and said it did away with Sunday voting as a result.
"Thus, in what comes as close to a smoking gun as we are likely to see in modern times, the State’s very justification for a challenged statute hinges explicitly on race — specifically its concern that African Americans, who had overwhelmingly voted for Democrats, had too much access to the franchise," the judges write in their decision.

No, it just cuts out the middleman by denying people representation for their views full stop.

that's really not a good defense. if it truly is about "just some statues" then getting rid of them is obviously a nonissue, especially when compared to civil war 2.0

Here's what the court said:
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/15/us/texas-districts-unconstitutional.html
In a 107-page ruling — part of a long-running legal battle — a three-judge panel of the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas found that District 27, which includes Corpus Christi, had been drawn to deny voters in a heavily Hispanic county “their opportunity to elect a candidate of their choice,” and that race had been the primary factor in drawing District 35, a narrow strip that stretches from San Antonio to Austin.
The judges, however, upheld the validity of other districts, including ones that had been challenged in Houston and in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
The panel, in San Antonio, ruled that state officials had adopted the map in question in 2013 as part of a deliberate strategy to maintain “discrimination or unconstitutional effects” while preventing voters from challenging those effects. If Texas legislators do not begin a redistricting process, the court will hold a hearing on Sept. 5 to discuss remedies.
Ken Paxton, the Texas attorney general, said in a statement that his office would ask the United States Supreme Court to hear the case. Opponents of the districts that the court upheld could also seek Supreme Court review.

If "fair representation" involves blatant segregation, under the assumption that an ethnic demographic will vote nigh-identically, who's the real racists here?

He wasn't attacking your character. He was only mocking you.
There is actually no need to attack your character. We can already see it for what it is.

If you want a better example, I just gave you that newsweek article. "Malicious compliance" at its best.
Yet still obnoxious gerrymandering no more disenfranchises minorities than the electoral system disenfranchises republican voters in California, or the entire two-party system disfranchises the Green Party. The right to vote still fully exists.
