It seems to me that in many contexts, Asians are not considered minorities today. Sure, they are only 5% of the population, but they are not minorities, because they tend to be quite successful.

As far as I can see, when people use the word "minority", they mean to refer to unsuccessful losers who need special government assistance. Asians don't fit that mold.

The term minority is strictly quantitative.
You may also be shocked to know that the terms male and female refer to the type of genitalia the referenced creatures were born with.

You are welcome for the basic vocabulary lesson.

Asians mostly vote liberal, and now they want to be exempted from the side-effects.
