And in this country, unlike Haiti, the majority of the population is white, so the minority is non-white. People, particularly white people, who use the words "minority" or "minorities" without further explanation or qualification rarely if ever mean anything else unless they (1) qualify how they were or are a minority, like by being a white student at an HBCU, and (2) are trying to suggest that that experience gives them an understanding of what it's like to be non-white in American society.
