Like about 4% of the citizens of Kansas

Answer:

TOPEKAN

Hint:

This term describes someone from the state capital where the Brown v. Board of Education case originated.

Explanation:

About 4% of Kansas residents live in Topeka, the state capital, so "like about 4% of the citizens of Kansas" hints at someone from that city. The answer "TOPEKAN" is the demonym for a Topeka resident, playing on the idea of describing people by where they’re from. It’s a straightforward geographic reference with a slight twist—using population stats to point to the city’s name.
