I would say if he has minority ancestry, even if only partial and usually it is a little visible on him/her or if it is not visible a parent is a minority or a grandparent and it is visible. Do you agree? I ask because Peace insists im Serbian, but in Europe interracial marriage between Roma and Non-Roma is taboo and not accepeted, and mixed people are placed as roma, if they do not want to be roma, they face a struggle for acceptance they can not win, they can be offended but someone will always remind they are roma from time to time, like your mum is a roma whore, or your the son of a gypsy.
I dont know if that is the case in the United States, but in Serbia I would not be a Serbian, Serbia understands itself as multiethnic country, and not everyone is Serbian born in Serbia, like not everyone is Appalachian born in the USA, but some are black or mexican.
I dont think of people as minorities or majorities, but thats just me. When I grew up, my "skin color" must have told liberals that I was part of the majority, but i grew up in a family where I was surrounded by other people who had "skin color" that would have told liberals around me that they were part of a minority.
Like many people, I was too busy trying to figure out life and where I fit in, to think about ANY of that crap about other people and whos minority, whos majority.... .
It could just be that in this world there are some people who are more judgmental than others, and are looking for every little reason to come down on someone else. For those of us who like to live and let live it never really makes much sense.
