	Majority-minority state - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Majority-minority state is a term used to describe a U.S. state in which a majority of the state's population differs from the national majority population.
		As a result, states with a minority population of roughly 35% or 40% are likely to become majority-minority in the near future due to this "Statewide White Flight".
		For instance, a growing minority population in a state almost equally split between whites and non-whites can accelerate the process of becoming a minority-majority state faster than one might imagine, as the White majority may emigrate to other states or territories in large numbers as more people become uncomfortable with their inevitable "reverse minority" status.

		It may be worth observing that collective minority dissatisfaction is in large measure a function of the magnitude of the polarization between the majority and minority groups and, in particular, that (given majority rule) minority dissatisfaction can be reduced to zero only if polarization is reduced to zero.
		The operation of majority rule is most transparent in resolving a single dichotomous issue considered in isolation, and indeed informal discussions of the relationship between majority rule and minority interests often do not look beyond this simplest case.
		The condition for an effective coalition of minorities is that the minority cluster plus the fraction of the mixed clusters with minority intensity must be greater than the majority cluster plus the fraction of the mixed clusters with majority intensity.

	Majoritarianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Majoritarianism is sometimes pejoratively called ochlocracy (commonly stated as mob rule) or tyranny of the majority by its opponents.
		Majority rule (a concept closely aligned with majoritarianism) is defined as the rule that requires more than half of a polity's members who cast a vote to agree in order for the whole polity to make a decision on the measure being voted on.
		Majoritarianism is a political philosophy or agenda which asserts that a majority (sometimes categorized by religion, language or some other identifying factor, sometimes not categorized at all) of the population is entitled to a certain degree of primacy in society, and has the right to make decisions that affect the society.

	Slicing it up
		The majority owner selling these minority interests may be motivated by many reasons, such as: the desire to obtain new capital, incentivize, reward or put "golden handcuffs" on employees, strive for family harmony, obtain estate planning goals and reap the emotional feeling of power or largesse.
		A majority owner may desire to expand the business — or buy a competing or complementary line — by forming a new entity in which the minority does not participate, and thereby exclude the minority from benefiting from this new opportunity.
		Minority owners seeking to challenge a majority owner’s conduct may be entitled to carefully scrutinize all contracts, agreements and other arrangements between the business and suppliers, customers, consultants and other businesses owned or operated by the majority.

		Even today, where a practice commonly referred to as representational majority democracy is widely in place, the minority are still to an extent powerless.
		Deep Democracy rests on the premise that to make a decision both the majority and the minority or �conflicting� opinion is needed.

	Smit: Attitudes to English: the influence of minority group membership
		The opposite was the case for the second minority group, whose members were completely emerged in the majority group and, if they wanted to be accepted by their class-peers had to integrate themselves, as far as possible, into the majority& world-understanding and attitude structure.
		Quantitatively, as the socio-politcal minority group was only marginally smaller than its majority counterpart (and, thinking of the larger groups they represent, the minority group is by far more numerous), while the ethnolinguistic minority group was made up of 17 people only compared to the over 100 of the equivalent majority group.
		The attitudes revealed by the socio-political minority group thus show that these informants had already internalised the destabilisation of the century-old power hierarchy and anticipated the complete turn-around in the power distribution to be legalised a year later.
