That is the dichotomy of the lives of our minorities. And kindly get this right, they are OUR minorities. In Australia the people recognize there are minorities that live in tribes in the outback, but, also live with other citizens in the cities and towns. These people are OUR minorities.
Minority - the smaller number or part, especially a number that is less than half the whole number.
Minorities will only have representation in our government and will never achieve a majority, ever. They should have at least a strong representative number in our government. They have issues no one else in the country have.
Politics should never simply seek to destroy their voices by assigning them status of complainers or those able to leverage an election for Democrats. The USA's minorities are to be listened to when they speak because they bring concerns and problems from their communities.

Implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination
...A representative of the Los Angeles Human Relations Commission, speaking in a joint statement, said little had been done to publicize international human rights treaties in the United States and most local authority workers had never even heard of the Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. The Commission asked for more funding for local projects, and for the Committee to urge the State party to create an institutionalized monitoring mechanism for implementation of the Convention....

A representative of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, the United States, said the impact of criminal law and policy on racial and ethnic minorities was without question one of the most critical issues faced by the United States today. The United States’ criminal justice system was in crisis. Policies had been enacted which had contributed to an incarceration rate on a scale that existed nowhere else in the world; which in turn, had resulted in a system that was racially and ethnically discriminatory – and ultimately unsustainable....

The international community is fully aware of the level of discrimination in the USA. That is not a minor observation. Discrimination causes poverty and poverty impacts the USA economy.
