So, I've got a question on your semantics, and I really don't want you to take this the wrong way. It's not saying you're wrong, I just want to know about the word "minority" in this context. Is it considered synonymous with underprivileged, or should it be reserved for physical minorities. For example, I often see women refered to as a minority (as you did in this case), but as a whole across the US, there is a practically equal number of males and females. Also, when you, and others in the US use the word minority, does it mean only in the US? Western World? First World? Developed nations? Again, don't take this the wrong way, just looking for an education.
So honestly, I could have used better words than "minority" there, for instance "disadvantaged/historically disadvantaged," "underprivileged," etc. Minority isn't technically wrong perse, but it feels less accurate than I'd like. I'd typically use minority to refer to people of non-white skin tone/culture (for instance immigrant Russians or Slavs might be white but contextually in the US culture I think could be considered a minority). It's not really about a physical minority vs majority share, for instance there are some cities in the US that comprise a majority population of minority classes (so white people are technically a minority, but would probably never be referred to as such). It can generally be taken as synonymous with underprivileged. I mean, generally as a US speaker I speak from a US paradigm. However I would still use the word "minority" to express "underprivileged class" or whatever if I was speaking about stuff going on in the UK, Europe, etc because that's the verbiage I'm used to.
