I've never liked the term MINORITY to describe people. It seems almost ignorant to use the word when we try to pump America with all these equality speeches. If we find ourselves to be people, through and through regardless of color; then the key question would have to be: what's the need for the word?
The word minority further seperates people from one another. We aren't just people of colors, eye shapes, thick and thin lips, and different hair. We are America filled with diverse but beautiful people, just beautiful people. If we are all just that then no one is minor to anyone but instead we are equally the thread of the American fabric that holds America together. We needn't refer anyone to being minor to anyone else... and when we realize we are the same we can progress as a country.....
We've all learned that "seperate but equal" cannot stand, so why seperate us from the body of America by calling us minor to anyone else. We may say that the term minor refers to the fact that there are less people of a certain "race" than another "race" in America but with statistics proving that in the near future that people of Spanish decent will be the majority of the population, will news media and statistics buffs use the term "minority" to call Euro-derived people or will the term become extinct?
