How do you define minority?

Question

I say people who are also known as "(nationality)-Americans" and have special holidays celebrating their nationalities. You?

Answer 1

First of all, I do not like the idea of racial segregation. The term minority is very negative to me. We are all part of the same race, the human race. However, I do like your definition.

Answer 2

In my opinion, the physically disabled are a minority regardless of where they live. People of different races and cultures have the freedom and the right to go anywhere they please in North America. Physically disabled persons have the same rights, but not the freedom.

Try going on holiday with someone in a wheelchair if you want to really experience inequality. There's always someone else worse off than you.

Answer 3

For me minority is defined by a group not having equal opportunities as others and who generally don't have much acceptance by a larger group!!!

Answer 4

Hi, Epitome,
A group, numerically inferior to the rest of the population of a State, in a non-dominant position, whose members- being nationals of the State- possess ethnic, religious or linguistic characteristics differing from those of the rest of the population and show, if only implicitly, a sense of solidarity, directed towards preserving their culture, traditions, religion or language...
