Preferred term

role of minorities in politics  

Definition

  • To understand the role of minorities in U.S. politics necessitates defining minorities and the forms of political endeavors that are included for consideration. Since minority in politics refers to access to power, not numbers, women are a “minority” in the United States, as are gays and lesbians, Muslims, and so on.
