Are you a double minority?

[BrandonSBCA]

I'm gay and I'm Latino, but I'm not really looking for guys so it would be no different for me if I was or was not looking for guys.

I'm multi-mixed and I like to thinks its bit harder for me... No wait hold on. I don;t even know what I;m talking about.

OMG not only am i part Native Australian and i hav an italian nose.

but i also consider myself part of other 'minorities' - i'm emo hahahahaha, and i'm vegan.

Pretty much i feel alienated from society, and i'm the only emo in the law school! especially at uni, i feel everyone is just so different to me there.

getting a guy is probably one of the least of the problems.

I'm a double minority...gay, and a guy who has exactly one magnet on his refrigerator...

Does being left-handed count as a minority? We're few and commonly persecuted for our special needs....

I don't know if it has been harder or easier being gay and bi-racial (dad is white, mom is Mexican), but it isn't living in the US and being fat.

With the exception of my last few years of college, I've always been fat. When I work out religiously, I lose weight and keep it off. As soon as I stop, the weight comes back. I eat well and not too much, so it isn't my diet.

Being fat has excluded me from certain stereotypical "gay" things. Luckily, those things don't interest me much. Being Latino has actually gotten me attention.

I would never say that my experience was harder or easier than anyone else's, as I can't compare circumstances. It just "was."

lack of numbers don't make a minority, my friend.

Fine, I guess the discrimination I have experienced does not count

 

[VICTORIADON]

I'm gay and white and when I am in China I am a double minority, does that count?

 

[belamy]

I would think that "double" is too low applied to me...

Yeah, the biggest problem for me is not fitting in anywhere. I've got to deal with other things before even thinking about having a boyfriend.

What is an italian nose?!?

 

[davy]

yes it does count.

i'm just pointing out that smaller numbers doesn't mean minority.

Uh, yeah it does. That's what the word means.

yes, literally, that's what the word means.

in the context of this thread (and all societies), it means a group of people from a social hierarchy that places them at a disadvantage.

women, for example, outnumber men, yet they are a minority.
