Micronority 

A classified subset of people, usually nested within a pre-existing minority group ad infinitum, or made of intersections of minority classifications. Often found to parasitize or symbiotically coexist within a larger minority group in service to their own smaller group goals, delegation of resources, management of attention, self-identification, and core niché issues. Fractal patterns define the term visually.
"Jane and I are African Americans in the USA, so we are minorities. However, Jane is also non-binary and disabled, making her also a 'micronority' with her own smaller subset of valid needs and issues."

Microjority 

My new word MICROJORITY meaning an amount greater than 50% but less than 55% considered to be as 50/50 - Or in a non-binary example (where 3 or more split options exist) then a MICROJORITY result would be a where the largest of the results is within 5% points of the next lowest.
The word is used to demonstrate an amount/quantity split in parts where the largest part is only slightly greater than the next largest. Therefore Microjority gives a better prospective of the result.

'Micro' (from the Greek meaning small) 'jority' from 'Majority' meaning larger part/number, greater part/number, major part, main part, more than half but gives the impression of being much greater than 55%.

Example; A ballot of 10,000,000 voters where the result is 5,000,001 - 4,999,999. The majority is 1 vote but the vote should be referred to as a Microjority - not a Majority.
The UK - EU Brexit vote)48% voted to remain - vs - 52% to leave. Leave was won by a small majority - A Microjority.

The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
