Asians are not minorities. Asian people account for 60% of the entire world's population. Just because a group faces discrimination does not make them a minority.

"A Minority, a culturally, ethnically, or racially distinct group that coexists with but is subordinate to a more dominant group. As the term is used in the social sciences, this subordinancy is the chief defining characteristic of a minority group."

So, facing discrimination, which I would think is part of being subordinate, does make you a minority.

Troll. You clearly know what is meant in this context. Asians are indeed minorities in the context of the United States, just as Caucasians are minorities in Asia. It is pointless to say that Asians are the world's leading majority, when in an individual context such as this one, they are not.
