A minority is a group whose members have significantly less control over their lives than members of the majority group. A minority is smaller, especially a number that is less than half the whole number.
But what about a number that is significantly less than half of the whole number? An eighth, a sixteenth, or even a sixteenth of a sixteenth: a minority not majority enough to be recognized as a minority.
To what extent do members of a minority have more control over their lives because their minority is actually more of a majority, especially relative to smaller minorities. Is there a hierarchy of minorities?
To what extent do individuals find control and power within their group, just by virtue of belonging? What about those who don’t belong? At least not to the majority-minorities.
Is there a name for these groups? Minor-minorities, perhaps. Those groups to which larger minorities seem majorities.
And even further, a minor-minor-minority or even triple-minor-minority. A minority that trends toward a singularity: an individual identity.
You can join no organization or protest that will represent perfectly your unique identity, in the same way that democracy represents very well “the people,” but represents inaccurately any one individual person—and this inaccuracy increases with each additional member.
Minority is about identity. But no two identities are the same, just as no two members of the same minority are the same—not even in their minority-ness.
You are your own minority.
