I wrote that word minorities in my previous post and now regret it. In my world, as a pale-skinned woman born in England and living most of my life in Aotearoa, stories have always been about white men or boys. In fact, they are the minority in this world, far outnumbered by non-white & non-males.

@Miraz you’re okay because the word minority is usually used in the context of power imbalances on a local level where white boys are usually in a majority

@wrenman @Miraz Due to that anomaly, academia now uses dominant and oppressed terminology

@pratik @wrenman That seems useful language.
