A minority is defined as a group of people who are set apart from the majority and experience subordination or disadvantage based on their characteristics such as race, ethnicity, gender, religion or sexual orientation. The size of the group may vary but it is not the defining factor of being a minority. Being born in a different country does not necessarily make one a minority in the society they live in.
