    Quite simple. In with way are you part of a majority, and with way of a minority.Just do like this:


    Majorities im part of: im latin in a caribean country, i write with my right hand, im young, i was raised by a catholic family in a Catholic country.


    Minorities im part of: im synestethic. im monotheistic but not religous. im short (like 5'0"). im middle class. i love girls with freckles a little bit too much. im a cis-straight guy full member at emptyclosets.com. i would like to be part of a polifidelity. im dominican but i dont like baseball. i rarely watch porn. im a straight guy and i dont see the point in having a threesome(having casual sex with 2 girls is better than having casual sex with 1 girl, but one at a time). I love anime. I love rock, jazz and metal. The beatles are fine, but i consider them overrated. I prefer fries with no salt at all. Im a guy but i take my time thinking what cloth combination im going to wear.

    I'll start with the obvious minorities I'm in, which would be being gay, transgender, and athiest. I do crossdress. In anime culture, I'm a huge supporter of yaoi and I support any relationship that doesn't contradict what's canon. I've been in geek culture all my life, and have identified myself as one. I'm 5' 6.5" So I have no idea where that would put me. I'm shorter than most of my friends.

    But I suppose everyone has the freedom to hate me because I'm white, middle-class and have a penis. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Hope this doesn't turn into an "Oppression Olympics" event, but I'll play :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:.

    ____________
    It's a bit hard on some because a majority in one place can be a minority in another withing the same country (especially one as big as the United States) and also whether we define minority by social disadvantages or numerically. I mostly use the numerical way for these.

    Minority:
    Gay
    Hispanic
    Bachelor's degree holder
    International Baccalaureate (Bilingual) Diploma holder
    Labeled "Gifted/Talented" in school
    Parents still married for over 25 years
    At 5'9" I'm on the short side of average for my sex and age
    Bilingual (English and Spanish, with some poor French :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:)
    Use glasses
    Agnostic
    I can self tie bow ties and regular ties


    Majority:
    Male
    Natural-born US citizen
    Listen to country music (at least in Texas)
    Cis-gender
    Middle class
    Grew up in a 2-parent, 2-child household (not sure if this is minority or majority)
    Hate anime (@Ryuichi @Straight ally :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:)

    Uhh...I'll take some time listing these out.

    Majority:
    I'm on Earth :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Minority:
    Don't listen to music
    Ambiguous sex
    Non-binary gender
    Ambidextrous
    Not interested in intimacy
    Don't have a social life

    I think that's about what's evident. Of course, I require basic sustenance, i.e. air, food and water, which puts me in the majority, right? :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Where to begin, ha...

    Minority: I'm a racial minority, I'm left-handed, I'm lgbt, I'm not interested in sexual talk, I'm a lot less sexual than most I've come across in general, I'm not interested in porn(thanks @Lawrence), my music taste I would say is pretty weird, I'm not macho but also not fem, I've somehow kept a more youthful appearance despite everyone I know looking more mature/their age, despite not being as on the fem side I find it easier making girl friends, I'm not really religious, I don't care for taking pics, I'm not a drinker/smoker, blah blah blah...

    Majority: I'm male(in regards to society?), I'm lgbt on this site, cis-gender

    I have a lot of clothes. I think it's okay because I haven't exceeded 5 pairs of shoes!

    Majority - European! I'm white in a predominantly white area. I'm a big fan of (cups of) tea and yes it is common here. Gamer... becoming ever more common here! Vodka fan. I was raised by Christians. I love Horror movies. I listen to Lady Gaga and some other popular music. I'm good with computers.

    Minority - I'm a metalhead. Anime fan. My mental disorder. I'm 5'5". I don't enjoy Metallica. I freaking love Swedish Death Metal. My spiritual beliefs are unusual. I'm a sadist. I don't enjoy porn. I run a pretty fast mile. I eat fries like twice per year WITH salt! I also don't use a cell phone.

    Hey people just a note: male is not a majority... Actually in many countries women are a bitnmore abundant(like 51% of the population or something like that.

    That was the same reason why I put being "male" in the majority category.
