kinds of discussions. You seem to be working from the statistical one. Just because women are over-represented, numerically, in this situation does not give them any more social power. The latter refers to the other use of minority, meaning a group with a lack of representation in the ruling power structure.

Women will stop being a "minority" when they are given equal pay, equal career opportunities, and equal representation--among other things.

After all, women have always been the numerical majority in society, and that hasn't done much for their share of the power structure. Nor will this achieve any more for Latinos as their numbers rise, because in the end it is still the rich, white, male, old-money numerical minority that control most things.
