groups resulting from social constructs have grant less power or representation compared to other members or groups in society
|
||
|
||
## Preferable To
|
||
|
||
[minorities](/definitions/minorities)
|
||
|
||
## 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", illuminating that this is an effect upon the individual or group, rather than the singular way to identify the group.
