If I, as a white nerdy guy, got sent to prision, what would be the best way to avoid any trouble from any of the other prisioners? Did Office Space get it right when they said to become someone elses bitch or knock out the biggest guy there?

My question is, why is it relevant whether or not the court’s decision reflects the desire of a statistical majority?
