Well done. I am a member of a small but vocal minority, and I do my best to remind my readers and acquaintances of my important two-part law for social happiness. One: majorities should tolerate minorities; two: minorities should support and never undermine the majority culture.
My data-driven analysis of international quality-of-life shows that excessively homogeneous and excessively fractionated societies both suffer. The best places to live generally tolerate minorities but have a dominant mainstream culture which is respected by the minorities.
Absolutely. At some point we forgot this little bit of commonsense. We decided that the dominant/ majority had no right to any of the privileges that came with their strengths. Indeed, that it was unjust, oppressive, and they needed to be fought in the name of equality.

Count me in to your minority!
