| | Minority group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In politics, a minority government may be one which is formed by a party with a plurality of seats in the national legislature, when no majority party exists. | | | The issue of establishing minority groups, and determining the extent of privileges they might derive from their status, is controversial. | | | Countries that have special provisions for minorities include China, Germany, India, Russia, and the United Kingdom (which does maintain the concept of a British supra-nation, however). |

| | Women as a Minority Group - Helen Mayer Hacker |
| | But before concluding that a different scale must be constructed when the dominant group attitude toward a minority group which is being tested is that of men toward women, the question may be raised as to whether marriage in fact represents the point of minimum social distance. | | | They excluded women from the trade unions, made contracts with employers to prevent their hiring women, passed laws restricting the employment of married women, caricatured the working woman, and carried on ceaseless propaganda to return women to the home or keep them there. | | | Constant reiteration of one's inferiority must often lead to its acceptance as a fact. |

| | News that Texas is the fourth state in which non-Hispanic whites make up less than 50 percent of residents has renewed discussion about whether the term “minority” has outlived its usefulness; critics include both liberals and conservatives. | | | This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed. | | | Though the bureau has not officially barred its use — last week’s news release on Texas was titled, “Texas Becomes Nation’s Newest ‘Majority-Minority’ State” — many officials avoid “minority” in favor of more specific racial and ethnic labels, said Claudette E. Bennett, chief of the Census racial statistics branch. |

| | Each individual thus identifies a number of social categories, some of which s/he internalises as his/her social identity, which results in membership in specific groups. | | | Concerning MtE the pupils in the ex-White schools had of course had rather positive attitudes and since minX’s evaluations are highly influenced by the majority group’s, these more extreme ratings in both cases might be an example of hypercorrection, of conforming more strictly than those who have put up the rules. | | | Quantitatively, as the socio-politcal minority group was only marginally smaller than its majority counterpart (and, thinking of the larger groups they represent, the minority group is by far more numerous), while the ethnolinguistic minority group was made up of 17 people only compared to the over 100 of the equivalent majority group. |
