Ethnic Minority Groups

Abstract

The term ethnic describes a group of people sharing a common background, language, and identity. Members may have similar physical characteristics, but more important, they share beliefs and behaviors that differ from other ethnic groups. When an ethnic group is not allowed full participation in society and reacts to this discrimination, it is classified as a minority group. Population size is not a part of this definition. Women are viewed as a minority group even though they constitute more than 50 percent of the U.S. population.1
