Brief Explanations:

Compare Senate representation percentages with U.S. population percentages. If Senate percentage is higher, over - represented; if lower, under - represented. White: 88% in Senate vs 59% in population (over - represented). Black: 3% in Senate vs 14% in population (under - represented). Latino: 6% in Senate vs 19% in population (under - represented). Asian: 2% in Senate vs 6% in population (under - represented). Native American: 1% in Senate and population (neither over nor under represented in a significant way).
