Everybody is a minority. Of course that overlooks the fact that some minorities are PRIVILEGED minorities, which has also always been the case. Minority and underprivileged has always been a false equation. The most privileged people are in the smallest minorities. So we should stop using the word "minority" as if it implied any disadvantage. In our society, there is no “majority”. Everybody is a minority.

Just curious about the new guy at cp, and I think it's interesting that the alt weekly in town has little in terms of diversity in its news department. And I'm not just talking about race. It seems heavy in the male department as well. It doesn’t, but thanks for your concern, acalhoun.

He appeared in the masthead this week, and by name, it looks the writer is another male. This would mean with the exception of Beth Hawkins, everyone in the news department hales from the male department. And if he is white, everyone would be pale as well. Details?
