While the Congress should proportionally represent the racial groups, the incarceration rates should not. They should correspond with the crime rates of the groups. This is not a math problem.
And math should not scare you. Do not be afraid of challenges. Even if you can not solve the math problem, it won't damage you nor your mentality (should not, unless your peers take the advantage of it).
Say, the unknown language that you do not understand, does not debase you. Rather, you'd be wiser because of it. Here is very important point in learning the language: do not assume that you 'know' the language BEFORE you learn. Consult the dictionary. You can not possibly 'know' the meaning of the unknown words for whatever reasons. Do not get discouraged, and do not trust your 'feelings' about the language that you do not 'know'.
