From something major like race, to a viewpoint, hobby, or characteristic-- the question is open: what way are you a minority? (Non-religion is the obvious )
I've lived out of the country. Except for veterans, thats a novelty here.
where'd ya live?
@markdevenish Cornwall, Ontario; Thompson, Manitoba; and Lachine, Quebec. I learned Parisian French in school in IN, Ontario French from my husband, Quebecois from friends in Quebec, and Academic French for my work in Quebec.
I let my dog roam around the hood [ 10 pound weakling]
I could probably come up with a few others if I really put my mind to it. These are the things that semi-randomly entered my head.
@silvereyes haha
Are you saying that there are not many libertarians where you live?
@BlueWave this is a VERY blue county. I suspect there are quite a few libertarians (little 'l' but not many Libertarians (big 'L'.) There is no Libertarian Party chapter in this county.
Vegetarian.
Female longboarder.
Guess which one causes people's eyes to pop out of their heads.
I am the sexiest man around, the smartest man around, the most liked man around, I am so awesome that people around where I am want to worship me. THEN I WAKE UP AND REALIZE IT IS ALL IN MY MIND.
@silvereyes I am a black male originally from the Caribbean who moved to the United States when I was eleven years old and I like classical music, and astrophysics.
@silvereyes I was a child when I left, ten and a half almost eleven years old. I have no friends or family left over there.
I'm a (mostly) liberal in a land of conservatives.
Being an sculptor and eco village builder. Plus, alway open spiritual sided.
I am an minority where ever I Go.
I'm a female anti natalist
I'm from the south and I can't stand sweet ice tea.
I love watching football.
During gardening season I'm always playing in the dirt
I am a transplant in the south and cannot understand the allure of sweet iced-tea. It is disgusting to me.
I am a blabber mouth. Science, Sociology, Theater, Technology I love to talk about things that I feel enlightened by. People who find such things tedious or boring frustrate me. I would rather be in a room with people vastly more intelligent than me than feel a false sense of superiority by hanging our with the incurably dull.
I don't have a problem with football players taking a knee during the National Anthem. Peaceful protest is peaceful protest and that right shouldn't be denied to anyone.
Yep -- I'm definitely in the minority here on that one. People are soooooooooooooo ignorant about this. I know people "protesting the NFL" and focusing on how much money somebody makes. I said "But, does that money take away their Constitutional rights?" Arrrrrghghghghghhhh.....
Other than religion, I am a minority (or sort of a minority) in that:
I am taller than the average woman. 5'9" -- I lost half an inch with age.
I am a "tomboy" who would rather be in jeans and boots, than dresses and heels.
I am the only woman at my job with small boobs. The rest are about half naturally big; and the other half are artificially huge.
I have naturally curly hair - where 95% of hairstyles are straight in my world.
I am liberal - very.
I would not go to a typical zoo, to Sea World, or to "swim with dolphins." (I WOULD go to a wildlife refuge where the animals are rescued and not in small cages; and I WOULD go whale watching, etc.)
I don't own a Saints or an LSU shirt -- I think I am the ONLY person in Louisiana who doesn't. (I don't know crap about American football players and stats, but I understand the game and will watch sometimes when the Saints are playing.)
My daughter is bi-racial. When we lived in L.A. and Seattle, that was run-of-the-mill normal. In Louisiana, it is not.
I ride my own Harley-Davidson -- and I do it in riding boots, not six-inch heels. Women riders are very much still a minority.
TO quote Bukowski I don't hate people I just do better when they are not around
I live in an extremely progressive and active community but I also take the definition of open minded liberal seriously. I question everything and have even been called a "curmudgeon" (but in a friendly way). A lot of things I question people about they don't want to hear (like immigration, vegetarianism, charity donations even so called social justice issues). My late partner did the same but they listened to her (her body language and mannerisms) but they don't listen to me. It is a message, messenger thing and a "Smile & Denial" thing.
@silvereyes I haven't heard from you in a while but am glad I did. Remember, body language can also be in the face we show to the group.
Timely reply, I am again being harassed because I question some things and people don't want to hear it. It is the same old story; criticisms and name calling without any rational. I ask simple questions but get no reply. I have written a question for the group about this but need some formalizing time. Absolutely yes, the political left is often as bad as the political right (or wrong) and am happy you recognize this.
