Yes I am.

I'm a white heterosexual nearing middle aged male that does not take drugs or drink alcohol and I pay my taxes on time...I've never had so much as a speeding ticket (so no jail time here or prison tats),I have no tattoos (none of that really fancy tribal barbwired stuff that is so classy) and I'm good to my kids,animals and neighbors...I've never hit a woman( but I've ran across dozens that needed it) and I'm 5"-6" taller than the average American male...I'd say that pretty much qualifies me as a minority in the USA of today.

I work for a living and pay income tax. These days that makes me a minority. And I sure as h*ll have been discriminated against. The government is willing to spend all kinds of money on those that don't work or pay no taxes...working people, not so much.

Me too, but I don't think we are in a minority group because of it, at least not in the sense I was thinking.

Still, I wanted to let people define "minority" for themslves and decide whether they are in a minority group or not.

It's interesting that only one person so far has said that they are not a part of any minority group.

"Are you a part of a minority group?"

My small little minority group is made up of sane Americans.
