Do you think all people of color, rich or poor, should be considered minorities?

Question

Do you agree with women being considered a minority group?

Answer 1

SO, Uncle tom is an idiot, he is probably 12, I guess he has never heard of school, its somewhere you go to get an education. He is probably only use to getting an education in prison.
anyways
Minority isnt a big issue anymore except when the blacks cry about how bad they had it over 100 years ago, somethimg they personally never experienced and never will. I say get over it...

Answer 2

The term minority applies to race not social economic status. With that said, it does not make a difference how much money you have, if your race is in the minority, that's what you are considered.

Your question implies that the word "minority" is a derogatory term used for poor people. The media refers to people of ethnic backgrounds, ie. Blacks, Asians and Hispanics as being the minority. When actually, combined they make up the majority.

So, to answer your question;
I think the race that has the lowest numerical measurement of population in this country could be referred to as the "minority" regardless of social/economic standing.

Answer 3

i think people look for excuses to consider themselves minorities...how can women be considered a minority in America when they have all the rights that men have?...perhaps in other cultures women are a minority (muslim cultures, for example)...the word itself is quite vague and can be used to label almost any group of people...globally, white people are the minority since we make up the smallest portion of the human population...but, of course, that doesn't have any obvious affect on how we assert ourselves in the world..."i am in the minority" is often used as a cop-out from responsibility...

Answer 4

It depends on the situation...but yes, sometimes women can be considered minorities.
