Not districts like this. Gerrymandering lumps people of color and those with Democratic voting records as much as possible in one district. A voting rights act requirement is not to lump people together so tightly in one district, but just to have a majority there. Before the voting rights act, "minorities" were gerrymandered out of any representation.
The non-partisan commission in CA created districts that are relatively homogeneous with common interests and geographically connected, rather than favoring a partisan stance or an incumbent's party.
