We are not minorities, we have been minoritized.

We are not underrepresented, we have been historically excluded.

Language matters.

[janel 🇵🇸 @pband_nelly]

Minoritization is not the same thing as being a numerical minority. Minoritization is the deliberate process of othering groups of people, denying them resources, and justifying the denial of resources.
