Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "minority group" refers to a subpopulation within a society that is subjected to discrimination by a more powerful ethnic subpopulation, not necessarily because of its smaller size but because of its lesser power or status. This discrimination can be based on various factors such as race, ethnicity, religion, or other characteristics that differentiate the minority from the dominant group.
