"Minorities"
The term “minority group” has different meanings depending on context. When used by the American government on official forms or for official purposes, it means all non-white (meaning non-European) people: African, Hispanic, Asian and Native Americans. In popular usage, especially when it involves problems of poverty and the inner cities, the term refers only to blacks and Hispanics.
