The word Minorities has ambiguous meanings when used generically by those coming from diverse directions. Black can be a minority if the black resides in a mainly white society. White could be a minority when residing in a black society such as Barbados. How about a man in a women's college. These minority groups are distinguished by color or sex. How about minorities that are distinguished by behavior: Kleptomaniacs, prostitutes, pedophiles and etc? Or how about a majority opinion? Or conversely - a minority opinion? What's good? What's bad? Will there be no consensus? If the minority states that water will run up hill, will it happen? Foisting the label minority or majority on any and all including problems or conflict of interests can be pretty damaging to logic. To be fair that's why many think that word should be used cautiously and unpromoted. Angler
