"Minority" may not be in actual populace, but if you look at positions of power--in politics, in business, in the entertainment industry--a really inordinate percentage of those positions are filled by white dudes. And in general, those white dudes are going to make decisions that benefit them and their peers rather than decisions that benefit other races/genders.
