What ethnic minorities are there in the United States?

There are no "minorities" in the strict sense in the United States. "Nation" and "race" are different concepts. The United States itself is an immigrant country and a melting pot of all ethnic groups, and the number of ethnic groups it contains is almost difficult to count. It can even be exaggerated to say that there are as many nationalities in the world as there are in the United States.

The largest race in the United States is white, accounting for 70% to 80% of the American population. Most white Americans have European ancestors. But if we look at the ethnic composition with the largest number of white descendants in Europe (data 20 13):

Germans:14.60%;

Irish:10.50%;

English: 7.70%;

Italians: 5.40%;

Two poles: 3.00%;

French: 2.60%;

Scots:1.70%;

Dutch:1.40%;

Norwegian: 1.40%

Even the largest ethnic group accounts for less than 1/5 of the population in the United States. Among the many ethnic groups in the United States, no ethnic group has an absolute advantage in number, so there is no "majority" or "minority".
