Saying any group is THE minority is helladumb.
I'm not bringing this up because of symantics; I think using the phrase "the minority' when refering to whites losing the majority is indicitive of a fundamental flaw in some people's thinking of what majority and minority are.
There's nothing wrong with having 10 minorities and no majority; in fact, I would predict that a democracy would run better with no majority group.

I will say this though, even if we did the demographics by the amount of applicants for admission you would see a higher representation of whites vs other minorities.
