- andylei 12y agoi guess that makes white males minorities.
- ericleung 12y agoTroll. You clearly know what is meant in this context. Asians are indeed minorities in the context of the United States, just as Caucasians are minorities in Asia. It is pointless to say that Asians are the world's leading majority, when in an individual context such as this one, they are not.
- themoonbus 12y ago"A Minority, a culturally, ethnically, or racially distinct group that coexists with but is subordinate to a more dominant group. As the term is used in the social sciences, this subordinancy is the chief defining characteristic of a minority group."
