They are certainly not a minority in Europe, where this happened, and which is the context of the message I was replying to. They may not be a minority on certain French suburbs, maybe on the place where this happened? They are obviously not a minority on the very street where the described "hunt" is taking place. Along the nested hierarchy of subsets of Europe that are in question, "France" may be the sole level at which they can be bona-fide called a minority.
