# What makes a minority and majority Created On: 06-18-2023 08:49 am Up:: [[Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) (MOC)]] Tags:: #note/evergreen🌲 Topics:: Related:: --- Marginalization makes minorities. In layman thinking, the demarcation between what makes a [[Societal majority]] and a [[Societal minority]] is population, which is an overtly reductive farce. This way of thinking does a disservice to the qualities and the formations of societal groups. Examples of this include: - Financial holdings and opportunity - Systematic influences and disparities, such as represented in [[Critical race theory (CRT)]] - Representation and authority in private and public sectors - And more Therefore, it is most important to look at the societal and cultural nuances in the above ways instead of reductive thoughts around population.
