Being a minority is dependent on your location

Jews are a minority in most of the world, but not in Israel

Muslims are the majority in some countries and minorities in others

Yes, it is relative too. I said that in previous posts. Nat is thing 25%<50%, therefore minority, but that logic says all religions are minorities cause there is no religion that represents 51% of the world population. If everyone is a minority, nobody is a minority lol.

I am not sure if you understand how words work.

1.8 billion people out of 8 billion people is a minority. Just because there is an even smaller number of Jews, doesn't mean 1.8 billion aren't a minority in comparison to 8.

That is the wrong math for this. We are ranking religions, the religions represented by the smaller % are the true minorities. Damn it, did you go to college? Is there a math bachelor in here?

If 25% is a minority, who are the majorities here?

You're ranking them by plurality, not majority.

I am telling you how math works :josad:

A majority is more than half of a total.[1] It is a subset of a set consisting of more than half of the set's elements. For example, if a group consists of 31 individuals, a majority would be 16 or more individuals, while having 15 or fewer individuals would not constitute a majority.

A majority is different from, but often confused with, a plurality,[note 1] which is a subset larger than any other subset but not necessarily more than half the set. For example, if there is a group with 20 members which is divided into subgroups with 9, 6, and 5 members, then the 9-member group would be the plurality, but would not be a majority (as they have less than eleven members).

Ok, are we going by dictionaries definitions or sociologies definition? We could both be right depeding on how we roll here, i was arguing based on the definition of woke people, despite posting a dictionary definition:

Sociology: In sociology, a minority group is a group of people who are treated unequally and discriminated against due to their physical or cultural characteristics. The term "minority" implies discrimination, and the term "subordinate group" is often used interchangeably with it. The group with the most power in a society is called the "dominant group".

Dictionary: Belonging to or constituting the smaller group or number.

Dictionary and math (which you said wasn't mathing, but 1.8 billion is factually a minority from 8 billion...).

Using minority like they do for discrimination or whatever, is silly.

Cause calling something a minority which factually isn't one, is opposed to logic (therefore math).

It's used to give more power to certain words and ideas. Cause if you read the sociology definition of minority group, it makes it sound like any majority that is feeling any kind of discrimination can be a minority. "Minority group" can be basically anything, shrinked into victimhood.
