Globally, whites are a minority. But since that's becoming true of more and more places locally in the US and Canada as well, the term "minority" is being phased out in favor of "racialized". "Marginalized", "minoritized", and "historically underrepresented" serve the same function - sufficiently flexible and ambiguous that they can always exclude whites, without having to openly say "non-white", or admitting that whites are a racial group.
