It would be kinda cool to be a minority i guess..for a while at least ;)

I'm a straight, white, Anglican Aussie so i miss out on almost every possible minority category :(

Well, you don't want to be Asian American. There'd be no real benefits because they're already over-represented at universities and hot jobs

Too bad their pop music caters to everyone. I feel like a minority by not liking their music...

Technically it's, "I want to be THE minority." It refers to having non-mainstream ideas as oppsed to anything racial.

i actually had an experience similar to being a minority a month or so ago. i spent a day in fresno CA for work, and went to a large outdoor mall in downtown that was literally all latino shops. i was the only white person in the entire area (trust me, i was looking for another!). i went into a lot of shops there, and they had these sort of indoor markets made out of hollowed-out old department stores. it was really interesting to see a portion of what used to be anglo-american culture that had been utterly taken over by latino-american culture, leaving me, as a white person, as the odd one out. it felt uncomfortable at first, but then it just became an interesting learning experience.

Yeah, we should all become black lesbians. That way, you have all of the minority angles covered :)

Everyone is a minority, one way or the other.

Why Buddhist? Wouldn't someone following Islam score more "ethnic diversity points" in the US?

Asians can still hate on whitey though.

Damn Whitey.

I have just barely enough Cherokee blood in me that I could qualify for affirmative action and such. Hell, I may do it just to see if I can open up a caino or omething.
