literally the first loving sentence of the difficult-to-find and esoteric ivory tower sourcebook Wikipedia's article on "minority group"

quote:

Rather than a relational "social group", as the term would indicate, the term refers to a category that is differentiated from the social majority, that is, those who hold the majority of positions of social power in a society, and may be defined by law. The differentiation can be based on one or more observable human characteristics, including, but not limited to: ethnicity, race, gender, wealth, health or sexual orientation. Usage of the term is applied to various situations and civilizations within history, despite its popular mis-association with a numerical, statistical minority.[citation needed] In the social sciences, the term "minority" is used to refer to categories of persons who hold few positions of social power.

also the fourth sentence, and the third sentence clarifies the confusion with numerical minority

as we see with africa, where colonial oppressors now a half-century gone are still blamed for today's problems, black people have no agency

one can imagine america with an entirely black population, save one white man, who will subsequently be blamed for causing all the crime and poverty with his evil whitey mind-control powers

first of all, just like in africa it is possible to have colonial oppressors use oppressed peoples as puppets and have them in positions of authority for the sole purpose of having something to point to when people go 'but we are suffering in poverty and systemic oppression'

lol if you think just bc the president is half-black suddenly that erases the fact that most black people live in poverty with no economic opportunity.

and second you're a straight loving moron if you think many issues in africa today have nothing to do with what happened 50-100 years ago like just straight loving retarded. I don't even get this line of thought - you know things are cause and effect right? each generation doesn't just live in a vacuum with a clean slate.

like if today's woes have nothing to do with what happened half a century ago then why are India and Pakistan at each others throats (and why are they even separate countries)?

This is why you shouldn't give into white guilt. No matter that you do it's never good enough for the libs and its always your fault.

I mean no it isn't though. Just because some poo poo happened in history doesn't mean that now problems are individually your fault. People always take it as such a personal insult and I think that's why they get so butthurt. Like hi I'm not talking about you individual forums posters when I'm talking about how the British carved up their African holdings with nonsensical borders that led to civil war and tribal disputes.

It's true, black people were taken from their homeland and brought to the Americas to work for hundreds of years for nothing. Doesn't mean you have to personally apologize, but maybe stop thinking everyone was born in a suburb and had the exact same starting conditions as you did.

it's interesting to me that people who are really racist can argue that there's no racism in america. maybe they are radical sophists who believe that they don't really exist?
