Just because you feel they are treated as a minority group doesn't mean they are considered one. Does someone have to explain everything for you? OK, I will: Since you mentioned the workplace, the U.S. goverment Office of Personnel Management defines "minority" this way: ""Minority. The minority race/national origin groups for Federal statistics and program ad-ministrative reporting are defined as follows: * American Indian or Alaska Native. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North America, and who maintains cultural identification through tribal affiliation or community recognition. * Asian or Pacific Islander. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, or the Pacific Islands. This area includes, for example, China, India, Japan, Korea, the Philippine Islands, and Samoa. * Black (not of Hispanic origin). A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa. * Hispanic. A person of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American or Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race." "In many workplaces there is a quota that needs to be met of the number of female workers. That in itself says something." Does that mean they are "minorities"? No. Didn't you know this? I'm sorry, I guess I need to word everything correctly for you. Maybe you can get the Federal government to adopt your unique guidelines, since you feel you are oh so correct!

Women are NOT considered a minority. That's why you hear the Democrats saying they want more political positions opened up for "women and minorities." You didn't know this?

No it was not changed because it was too late to edit. She saw the first comment. She didn't think anything of it. Just like I thought.

that's what mrbronco meant. I think it was a more general comment. I am not offended at all.

"This country seems so bent on putting a minority "somewhere" in the ticket that they forgot to worry about who can do the best job." Women are minorities? Call me crazy, but in my world they make up half the population...
