Ethnic minority groups are communities that differ from the majority population in terms of cultural, linguistic, or religious characteristics. These groups often have unique traditions, languages, and histories that distinguish them from the dominant culture in a given country or region. Examples of ethnic minority groups include the Hmong in the United States and the Sami in Scandinavia. In many societies, ethnic minority groups may face challenges such as discrimination, limited access to resources, and underrepresentation in political and social institutions. Efforts to promote diversity and inclusion aim to support these groups and ensure their voices are heard in broader societal discussions.
