Label and describe the four characteristics that classify a race or ethnic group as a “minority group.”
Please provide the best answer for the statement.
1. Differential power—There must be significant differences in access to economic, social, and political resources.
2. Identifiability—Minority group members share (or are assumed to share) physical or cultural traits that distinguish them from the dominant group.
3. Ascribed status—Membership is non-voluntary; it is something you are born with.
4. Solidarity and group awareness—There must be awareness of membership in a definable category of people, so that there are clearly defined “us” and “them.” The minority becomes an “in-group” that tends to distrust members of the dominant “out-group.”
