By technical definition, no. But they are used interchangeably when it comes to discrimination. When people say minority in that context, marginalized group is what they mean, and it is disingenuous to call a group not discriminated against a minority in the context of discussions of discrimination.

OP

That's bloody silly. I'm saying it's a concern of mine when portrayals of the minority to which I belong are erased, but I wouldn't go so far as to say that we're a group who are discriminated against when there are much worse examples of discrimination we'd be measured against. Bullied, yes, a bit ignored, yes, and occasionally dunked as witches. But my wording was deliberate and, I think, accurate. We are, numerically, genetically, a minority.

What planet are you from where words can mean whatever you want them to and not their actual, literal meaning?

The planet where usage matters and the way which people use terms affects their meaning.

So if a bunch of people start using the word "quilt" to mean "a one-legged duck", you'll unthinkingly accept that as the new meaning of the word, because that's how it's being used now.

Good to know.

LOL! My quilt just quacked. Thought you might want to know.

No, they're not.I already responded to this effect, but if that were the case women would be considered a minority, and no-one calls women a minority.
