forced silent minority

A minority of a population forced to keep silent or "in the closet" for fear of stereotypes, ostracism, and silencing by the majority.

Atheists are a forced silent minority-whenever one admits that they are an atheist, they will be stereotyped as an amoral, loud, boorish, fad-follower - never mind if their belief is right or not.

minority

Minority: I think that 'minority' is the lesser part of society that just, basically, sits on the back burner, rejected from society. Being individualistic and rebellious to an extent. Not taking too much crap from people. Being apart of the minority puts you at the bottom. But don't bum out about it: The minority is more favorable. Trust me.

" 'Miority' is about being an individual. It's like you have to sift throught the darkness to find your place and be that individual you want to be your entire life."
---Billie Joe Armstrong, Lead Singer of Green Day

Minority isn't just a Green Day song, no. But they did put a nice tag on it.

Swiss Army Minority

This is the Golden Unicorn of token friends. Befriending this person make you immune to accusations of discrimination of all kinds.

The best example of this is the elderly black lesbian paraplegic that we shall dub Emma. She's the perfect token because she covers all bases. By befriending Emma you're no longer racist or sexist; nor do you discriminate towards age, ability/mobility, or sexual orientation.

Jack: Yo Willard....I heard you got sued for only hiring white people
Willard: yeah, people are foolish
Jack: Well what did you do?
Willard: I showed them a picture of our greeter, Emma
Jack: who is she?
Willard: Some old crusty wheelchair-bound nigger dyke I hired
Jack: Ah, a Swiss Army Minority
Willard: yeah, and she can cook greens like a motherfucker
