Changes

The term "minority group" often occurs alongside a [[discourse]] of civil rights and collective rights which gained prominence in the 20th century. Members of minority groups are prone to [[different]] treatment in the countries and [[societies]] in which they live. This [[discrimination]] may be directly based on an [[individual]]'s perceived membership of a minority group, without [[consideration]] of that [[individual]]'s [[personal]] [[achievement]]. It may also occur indirectly, due to social [[structures]] that are not equally accessible to all. Activists campaigning on a range of issues may use the [[language]] of minority rights, including student rights, consumer rights and animal rights. In recent years, some members of [[social]] [[groups]] traditionally perceived as [[dominant]] have attempted to present themselves as an oppressed minority, such as white, middle-class heterosexual males.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_group]
