Thanks - that is of course not at all what I meant. I actually checked her article to see which word she used (which is minority) because I am not sure what is correct in the US. I meant minority strictly in a mathematical sense.
In the United States, "minority" is often used as a crude stand-in for "against which society is often biased". For example, "women and minorities" is a common grouping-together despite women having a percentage majority in the country.
This is actually so prevalent I've heard people say "minorities, like women" in contexts where the term "minority" is definitely not used in a relative sense (i.e. they were really referring to a group that represents roughly half the population as a "minority"). It carries a lot of political baggage.
Your post, as it is worded, can be misconstrued to sound like otherism. "You'll always be different, minority!" And you prefaced it with "I sense a problem in that..." so it can be read as blaming her for what race and gender she was born as.
Or I'm totally off-base. But since the person(s) who downvoted didn't comment, I guess we'll never know.
