Are hispanics a minority? why?

Question

here in the united states

Answer 1

Yes. They are a numerical minority in that there are less of them, but in sociology they are a minority because they hold less power (Politically, Financially, etc..). In sociology, the amount of power determines if a group is a minority or not. For example, although women are a numerical majority in the United States, they are considered a minority because they hold less power and wealth then men in general.
