Question

What is the largest ethnic minority in the U.S.?

Answer 1

I think it is Hispanics.

Answer 2

Latinos are the largest minority group in the U.S based upon statistics as Ellen pointed out. I think people responding to this question are confused about the term minority.  Minority group does not refer to a number.  Minority group refers to those groups who are disadvantaged compared to the dominant group(s) (whites, males and so on) in terms of resources, authority and power.  Based on this definition, African Americans, Asian Americans, Latino Americans, women, and many more could be considered minorities.  Mexican Americans are considered a sub-group of the Latino population making them part of the largest minority group.

Answer 3

According to the United States Census 2006 American Community Survey, White people make up 73.4%, Black people make up 13.07%, Asians make up 4.8%, Hispanics make up 14.77%, American Indian/Alaskan Native make up 1.45%.  

So the largest ethnic minority would be Hispanic/Latino (white is the largest group, but they would be the "majority").
