What does that mean?

"Minority majority"....is that not an oxymoron? Yes, it is at face value. If you are talking to a regular girl or guy on the street, then it probably has to be explained. Eye'll try and clarify it. Let's see....if blacks, hispanics and other outnumber whites, then the district is a "minority majority" district because the minorities are the majority but they are still minorities and will get the minority treatment and programs that the government allows......Can you also call the district a "majority minority" because the whites are still called the majority but are the minority in a "minority majority" district? Are there government programs available to help with the majority that is now the minority? Are you confused yet? Here is the bottom line with this new terminology. The district will benefit from more federal dollars and programs available due to the "minority majority" classification. The money is out there, it is up to administration to find it. This is good.....but if you are in the "majority minority"....where does that leave you? Something to ponder........As Eye've said before, ask your own questions, do your own research.
