I am AHO Right?

in reply to Nedhitis

What, pray tell, does "acting black" mean, exactly?
@Btan Cines
But what about in places where people of largely non-European skin aren't minorities, i.e. Africa or South America? For that matter, there are many places in the U.S. where minorities are quickly becoming the majority, such as cities in California or the South, for example. Overall, Caucasian people are expected to no longer be the largest group in America by 2050. That's the problem with a term like "minority", it's completely relative and could change at any time. Not to mention the difference between "political minority" and "population minority". White colonialists were a minority of the population, but controlled a grossly unequal amount of the political power, which is still largely true overall in the U.S, I shouldn't have to find statistics for that.
