If you are an American, chances are you may mean racial/ethnic minorities, but I’m going to risk an answer that encompasses any minority, including atheists, for instance. Whichever we consider, I see twin challenges: The often unthinking “tyranny of the majority,” often based in feelings of entitlement or superiority and lack of understanding anyone different from themselves; and the need for minorities to organize and form coalitions/alliances with others to make up for smaller numbers and to get things done.
