Where do you get that number?
This link:
http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0762156.html shows that Blacks made up (in 2010) 12.2% of the population, and Latinos made up 16.3%. Combined, that's about 28-29%, and what is typically meant by the term "minority" in the voting context.

Because without that group, Hillary wouldn't have won the southern states. And that group would, by and large, vote for whomever the Democratic nominee is. So I don't give a lot of weight to their vote or to the winner thereof.
In short--if the Democrats want to grow their base, Hillary isn't their candidate.
