A phrase used in Britain to denote the belief, by certain vested interest groups, that British society as a whole discriminates against minorities. These groups can represent ethnic, religious or other minorities or be just professional bleeding hearts but they all promote the same bullshit, namely, that an action taken by society against a member or members of a minority group automatically infringes their human rights. This has led to the ridiculous situation where members of various minorities get away with acts that would see a member of the largely silent majority jailed. This is due to greedy lawyers and waste of space organisations who mindlessly support these people often at huge cost to the British taxpayer.
Unfortunately minority pressure groups like Liberty, professional bleeding hearts and all the other wasters who are BVA have pressured politicians into the belief that this is a vote winner. In fact, if politicians merely gave the matter a few minutes thought (there's an oxymoron politician and thought) they would realise that they are placing the needs of a minority above those of the majority. Effectively they have been brainwashed into a Minority Mentality.

In a recent British court case, the judge allowed the defendant to wear a burka in court, despite the fact that there is no religious requirement in Islam for a woman to wear such a garment. Effectively British justice was forced to surrender to the Minority Mentality.

Get the Minority Mentality mug.A psychological state more than a geographic state of a person: a belief in a community's or culture's superiority, correctness, or specialness compared to other communities or cultures. Inspired by positive-minded well-meaning groupthink, increasing homogeniety over time, isolation-induced ignorance of other cultures or communities, fear of the unknown or being outnumbered (and a desire to compensate for their smallness amid the world), and lack of conflict with/lack of destruction by other communities (improving relative progress and social harmony and giving some creedence to their feelings of superiority).

Get the Icicle Mentality mug.Viewing one's fans as a community of people that can and should be used as a tool for positive means, both for the members within it, as well as those outside it. The one who acquired this fanbase, however, is seen only as its humble guide rather than the leader and despite being responsible for this community, that individual is interchangeable and the audience they have acquired says nothing about their character or personal value. The YouTuber Markiplier is the person who this term was coined around, but the creator is a YouTuber who goes by Just Jargon.
