The question we used to ask in Silicon Valley back 20 years ago.
How can you be a “minority” when you are clearly a “majority”

As an individual ethnic background, whites are still the majority in the US. When you aggregate all non-whites together simply based on skin color, they (IIRC) just slightly outnumber whites. So for now, any person who isn’t “white” is still from a specific ethnic group that is in the minority.

Then there’s the Leftist version of “minority” which does have some element of numerical inferiority, but which has far more to do with some perceived lack of social success (which is why Asians from all regions are somehow never referred to as “minorities”; they’re not pitiful enough and they somehow manage to be too successful).
