groups resulting from social constructs have grant less power or representation compared to other members or groups in society
|

|
|
|

|
|
#### Benefits
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Minoritised places the emphasis on the power struggle, and on the systemic issues at play. It's also an adjective, which requires you to add "group" or "people" so it's people-first language
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Impact
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It removes the pejorative nature of "minorities".
