True, but that's a very different definition. Also, IMO, a bit of a confused one that leads to confusion. e.g. apartheid is often referred to as "white minority rule" - that is the minority oppressing the majority. Similarly, this gets a little subjective. It's not clear to me in modern liberal democracies that women are a minority politically, because they do in fact have the ability to set policy equally to men (even if they happen to be less present in the political ranks)
