A "racial majority" refers to a group of people within a specific population who share similar racial or ethnic characteristics and make up more than half of that population. This group often holds significant social, political, and economic power in a society, influencing cultural norms and policies. In many countries, the racial majority can shape public perception and representation. For example, in the United States, the White population has historically been the racial majority, impacting various aspects of life, including education, employment, and government policies.
