Minority reportRe: "State Latino growth puts minorities into majority,"
August 11, 2005 Page One news story.
The use of the term "majority-minority" is a classic example of how the use of politically correct language can reach ridiculous heights.
If minorities are majority, can they still be a minority? How about calling the new majority "the group that called itself minority."
And in the spirit of fairness, let us call the non-Hispanic whites "the previously majority minority."
And let us henceforth not call a spade a spade but "almost spade", "barely spade" or better yet "clubs". (edited in print)
