Produktbeschreibung

A dominant minority, also known as alien elites if they are recent immigrants, is a group that has overwhelming political, economic or cultural dominance in a country or region despite representing a small fraction of the overall population. The term is most commonly used to refer to an ethnic group which is defined along racial, national, religious or cultural lines and that holds a disproportionate amount of power. White minority rule describes a situation where Whites, comprising the minority of inhabitants in a given region or territory, lead countries where non-White populations are the majority of inhabitants. White minority rule was associated with legal segregation in South Africa but not in Rhodesia or the Portuguese colonial territories. In these countries, the franchise was extended to non-Whites on a qualified basis. The term is mostly applied to in southern Africa, especially in the Republic of South Africa before and during the policy of Apartheid and in Rhodesia before and during the rule of the Rhodesian Front. Many in the local non-White populations tended to favor Majority Rule, a term which the White minority tended to describe as Black Majority Rule
