A dominant minority, also known as alien elites and minority majority if they are recent immigrants, is a group that has overwhelming political, economic or cultural dominance in a country or region despite representing a small fraction of the overall population (a demographic minority). The term is most commonly used to refer to an ethnic group which is defined along racial, national, religious or cultural lines and that holds a disproportionate amount of power.
Examples:
- Muhajirs (Urdu-speakers) in Pakistan[1][2]
- Ahom Tribe in erstwhile Ahom Kingdom now modern-day Assam, India. [3]
- Americo-Liberians in Liberia [4][5][6]
- Mulattoes in Haiti[7]
Historical Examples:
- Manchurians in Qing Dynasty of China
