I was just watching a video online, were Chinese people are referred to as a minority. In the context of the video, it is correct, there are fewer Chinese people round here than Spanish people, however, there are only about 40 million Spanish people, but well over a billion Chinese people.
It dawns on me, that calling one group or another a minority, in a local or national context, is kind of silly, in a world where you can get to the other side of the planet in less than a day.
So, who are the real minorities? If we look at all our demographics on a global scale, who are the real minorities?
