A minority group is a group of people that don't represent the majority of the population.\n\nImmigrants are people who relocate to another land.\n\nimmigrants are usually "minority members," but not all minority members are immigrants.

"Young whites"? "Muslims"? \n\nYour question and your definitions sound racist and shallow. You shouldn't generalize people like that. I believe the problem that you are trying to underline is much more deeper.\n\nColonization and liberal economy systems has its ups and downs. Bringing cheap labor from third world countries and colonies usually generates a cultural and economical gap  between immigrants and natives. This usually causes frustration and as a result; friction between groups.\n\nThat is what is happening in Europe right now. This situation has got nothing to do with peoples skin color or religion. If you need more information, I would suggest you to do some research and reading about political science, political history and the Industrial Revolution Era in Europe.

A.)Fewer Jobs-though this will become less and less of an issue as people commute long distances to work nowadays, and the knock-on acceptance is becoming more acute (remember the %of England's population which is non-white has gone from around 1% in the 1940s to around 6% today.\nB.)Recent immigrants tend to establish themselves where previous immigrants from the same place went, which is generally the cities (due to cheaper housing, more services, and more jobs).\nC.)Occasionally ethnic minorities are driven out of rural areas through intimidation (excrement through letterboxes, verbal abuse, etc.) or simple neglect from established communities\nD.)Ethnic minorities often have cultural practices or interests which are more difficult to pursue in rural areas than urban areas.

The Census does make the distinction. Hispanic and race are unrelated. One can be of any race AND of Hispanic origin. The link below has some info on how the Census Bureau deals with it.

An immigrant is anyone who moves his place of residence from one country to another.  You can come to the US temporarily for school or work on a temporary non-immigrant visa.  But if you want to stay permanently, you must apply for an "immigrant" visa (otherwise known as a green card).\n\nReceiving a green card is the final step of the process of immigrating to the United States from a another country.  It gives the holder the right to live and work permanently in the US.

The U.S. labelled them that. The Europeans (white man) came here and stole the land as thier own. So they call everyone not "white" a minority. Other countries don't think of it like the U.S. does.

Both are racist terms. Many believe that it isn't possible for a racial minority to BE racist, that racist terminology only trickles down, but just try using a slang term for a Hispanic person in California, a race that will become the majority race in just a few years. Can you tell me that using a racial slur isn't racist? When is name-calling ever good?

The term Majority doesn't necessarily mean highest number, it does however, mean the group with the most power.  So how many different ethnic groups can you count who have been president?  For that matter, how many women?  Incidentally people with disabilities make up the largest minority group in this country.

Legal immigrants are allowed to have MOST of teh rights to which citizens are entitled.  In general, this includes ownership of property, and  the right to keep and bear arms.

Very simple...politics. All of the minority lobbies have their bases convinced immigration reform is racism. No one wants to lose any votes.

why are hispanics different from immigrants from other countries.  there are laws and procedures to follow and they apply to everyone, plus hispanics don't want to adopt our language or our culture-if theirs is so great why do they want to come here.  let's face it mexico is a third world country, is politcally corrupt and is racist against indians and blacks, and prejudiced against what they consider lower classes

Could you be a bit more vague?  What ethnic group?  There are thousands, and you could probably find at least a site, sometimes several, for each.  Start your search with Google.

The difference is that someone born here can get a paper, but those that come here "ilegally" cant and that like you said makes them slaves cause anybody can take advantage of them just by simply blackmailing them. Its a way of oppression.

illegal immigrants hurt the country, and the people who hire them. ethnic backgrounds have nothing to do with it-make my day, send home illegal immigrants, and prosecute the people who employ them!!!!!!!
