If you think of a majority as >50%, then no one has the majority. If you think of a majority as being larger than everyone else, then the white population has the majority still. Of course, if you think the latter, you are wrong, and I mourn the death of such treasured words as "majority" and "minority."

What can be said when the minority is the majority, and the majority is the minority, except that the casualty is language, lucid and univocal?
