Are you a part of a minority group? (crime, Miami, California)

[Chicagoland60426]

Yes, 3 off the top of my head.


African-American, left-handedness, and atheist

Now I was at first surprised that 96% voted yes, but by looking at the responses, this isn't a question regarding only racial or ethnic minority status.

left handed and a tax payer not reciever. yup

[nimchimpsky]

Yes. I'm 1) blind 2) gay 3) believe in a lot of New Age stuff 4) left-handed. Don't usually count #3 and #4 but I did since other posters mentioned it.

I'm sorry, I thought it was a serious question. If I'm any kind of minority, I can't think of it.

I'm all that, plus I believe in American Exceptionalism and the power of a free people making their own decisions. Soon I hope to be in the hated 2%.

I meant it to be a serious question. While I think some people stretched what most would consider to be the definition of a "minority", I also think that most of us really are in some sort of a minority group.

[malamute]

Yes, everyone is. An age range alone will make you part of a minority. Being tall or short or exactly average does also.

[plwhit]

Yes, I'm white middle class.

I'm a (naturally) redheaded Jew... probably doesn't quite beat your number, but I should at least get a silver or bronze medal!

African-Caribbean-American; Agnostic; Ambidextrous - don't want to hijack but I do want clarification from the atheists as to why they don't consider themselves agnostic.
