In south african, whites are the dominant group, although they are outnumbered by people of colour: minority group members have four common characteristics (dworkin) Incongruence of phenotype (visible identity) and culture identities: mexican american with caucasian physical features identifying with the mexican american culture. Nazis made jews wear yellow stars: non-dominant group members who cannot be clearly identified may experience some problems as well. The actual use of resources to influence and control others. : allows those who have more power to control those who have less power. Larger numbers of one group, are not always the most powerful: power helps the dominant remain dominant. Group awareness: the final characteristic of minority groups. Is one consequence of their subordination by the majority and its discriminatory practices. Irrationally based, negative attitudes about certain groups and their members.
