Not to worry. I'm pretty sure DrPhil wasn't offended.

If I wanted to pledge a NPHC sorority, I would be a minority. If my child, who was born in India, wanted to pledge an NPC sorority at Bama, she would be a minority. It would not offend her to be called so, nor would I be offended.

If you've been doing your part to change things over the last 20 years, then I'm sure that you're well aware that generally, "minorities" means non-whites, and that the word has not just situational meanings (like a white person in an NPHC org), but deeper and broader historical and cultural meanings.

Too bad real discussion can't be done in this thread.

Of course real discussion can be "done." At least it can unless newbies make pronouncements out of the gate about how there can' the any "real discussions"—pronouncements that easily come across as attempts to deflect real discussion.
