since you will get alot of definitions, i'm just going to jump to the interesting part of it...\nthere must be a bottom limit to the number needed that makes up a minority...meaning there must be a minimum number needed.\nbut i can't find it anywhere....but back in the early 90's\nthere were not enough Pakistanis in the US to qualify as a minority...strangely interesting.

I can understand that the laws may sound this way when reading them.  However, the result I notice in the workplace on a daily basis does not reflect this at all.  I see more white males and females in the workplace than anything else.  Minorities are minorities for a reason...there are less of them.  So...you see more of the majority in the workforce.

This is a gay and lesbian forum and you didn't list the minority group on your list???\nI think any visible minority is discriminated against way more then minorities that are not visible!\nBut I also agree with the person who answered from Australia in that a lot of the groups you listed are not even minorities depending on where you live.  For instance in the city of Toronto second most spoken language is Chinese so I would imagine that means there are a lot of Chinese people living in that city so may that Chinese is probably not a minority there.  They are a  minority there only in that they have not lived there in the numbers they now have as long as the whites have been there.  The other thing funny to note about this statistic is that Canada has two official languages but one of them is not Chinese!  I think that people from the Middle East and Latinos are discriminated against a lot right now because of all the terrorism that is coming out of the Middle East since 911. I  clump the Latinos in with the Middle Eastern people because they are so similar in looks! Just my thoughts on all of this. *hugs* JAC<

A minority report is a committee report written by at least two committee members who are in the minority on the issue in question (not necessarily in the political minority party) for the purposes of officially stating their position on the issue.

Actually the meaning of the word Caucasian is pertaining to the Caucusus Region of central Eurasia. Including people of European, Russian, Georgian, French and Spanish descent (to name a few.) Caucasian means different in Europe than in the USA, so you may want to do research as to what "culture" you want info on. Here's some helpful links.\nGood luck as it is extremely hard to find "caucasian" and "culture" in context together.

It means how many of each type of person is in the population; black and white, asian and western, old and young, gay and straight, French-speaking Canadian and English-speaking Canadian, etc.\n\nExactly which groups are in the population and which ones you look for depends on where you are and what you are seling.

Depends on where you are at. In Chinatown, every other race is a minority, but any place else, they are a majority

Are you asking for sheer number or percentage of a group?  Your question is unclear.

A simple majority  or a majority is just when one side gets 50% of the votes plus 1 vote or higher.  \n\nA qualified majority is much higher.  Legislative bodies across the world set this number at different levels, but it can be when 65%, 75% or 80% of the members in the legislative branch of the government vote in favour of one bill or proposition.

They're a small minority, and a stubborn minority, and a minority who's religious rules tended to make them stand out.  Plus they managed, despite massive oppression, to survive thousands of years.  And words can't do their plight justice.

They are afraid of offending some small minority group and being sued.

Law- to provide a acceptable outcome to the majority. It can not sit well with the minority. \n\nEither way some people lose.
