Karen, you're resorting to micro-logic. You've obviously been hanging with X too much.

Well, minorities are not, in fact, necessarily part of the collaborative process. Foreigners in our midst are legitimately looked at as minorities, with some residual rights. American ex- pats in Costa Rica, so long as they retain their connection to the United States and could be discriminated against, are a legitimate minority. By all means, the inmate population is one that can be termed a minority population, and they do, in fact, have residual rights that can be vindicated in a court of law. The only thing on the list that doesn't belong to the common understanding of "minority" is bison, and that is because it is not a human being. Now, arguably, the fetus does not belong either, but the argument there is about its humanity, not its citizenship or participation in the process.
