When you use the term minority or minorities in reference to people, you're telling them that they're less than somebody else.

Minority is about being an individual. It's like you have to sift through the darkness to find your place and be that individual you want to be your entire life.

I'm not a minority: I'm a majority of one. We all are. To call someone a minority, you give them baggage, of not being full, or not being seen as full. All of us need to be seen as full human beings.

Don't let anyone call you a minority if you're black or Hispanic or belong to some other ethnic group. You're not less than anybody else.

Minorities have a right to appeal to the Constitution as a shield against such oppression.

We in the United States believe in the protection of minorities; we recognize the contributions that they can make and the leadership that they can provide; and we do not believe that any people - whether majority or minority, or individual human beings - are 'expendable' in the cause of theory or of policy.

It is no less the duty of the minority than a majority to endeavour to defend the country.

You can't be a minority in this society without having someone express disapproval about affirmative action.

I have spent a great deal of my life being part of minorities. Some of the people I admire the most in the world have had the courage to defend, against wind and tide, minority viewpoints in those frightening times when any disagreement with universal conformity is identified as treason.
