Globally, men and women compose approximately half of the population. 49% of the population shouldn't be considered a "minority group".

We're not guessing what the actual largest minority is. We're guessing at what the Census Bureau counts as the largest minority.
I'd actually heard that it was people with disabilities, although, as I've said, that could be due to dated information.
There are more women than men (at least in the west) and hence men are a minority by the definition of the word.

You know, I like that the Punnet Square for homozygous x heterozygous alleles works out to be 50/50 either heterozygous or homozygous. I don't know if it works the same way for the x and y chromosomes, though.
(And I'm not mentioning the other configurations of the 23 chromosome pair on purpose. Since my schooling isn't even close to there.)

They're under reporting Sanders supports because Hillary gave paid speeches to the Census Bureau. Obviously.
I don't think they collect data on party affiliation...? Or do they?
Because of preference for male babies in India and China, that is globally not true, but it still doesn't matter. That would be like dividing the human population by GDP in a 51% of population with more than the 49% res and declaring the bottom 49% a minority group.There are more women than men (at least in the west) and hence men are a minority by the definition of the word.

The largest minority group is any arbitrary collection of ceiling((total population)/2) - 1 people, where ceiling(x) is non-standard notation for the ceiling value of x (i.e. round up to nearest integer).
Even if they do, it wouldn't really help. Party affiliation doesn't mean that much to many Americans.
I believe they do. About every four years, around November, I think, is when they test it.
It's still a group of people sharing a common characteristic.
Hm, I stand corrected.
Rovsea, what are you trying to argue here?
A.) Is it really? Think about that one.
B.) I'm not arguing anything except that minority should never be declared by gender. And I guess on a tangent that disabled people are barely considered by many to be a minority group. They should be.
I don't know. The prize was my admiration, but Cliges is so cool that he already has that.
Yes. They are self-proclaimed members of a certain group.
Why shouldn't minority be declared by gender?
The sociopolitical sense of minority (an oppressed group) might not be applicable to gender, probably. But the technical sense where it's not the largest group or where it makes up <50% of the population can be.
