Beats being called invisible minority which s what a lot of visibly different people used to be.
"Term 'visible minorities' may be discriminatory, UN body warns Canada ". So could the term "those people" or just plain "us". lol
Well, if you were a first nations person, and the government just kept referring to you as a 'visible minority', lumping you in with immigrants from all over the world, I can see where it could be contrued as discriminatory. Wouldn't you rather be referred to as a first nations person if that's what you are? But context has a lot to do with the appropriateness of a term too. How else is the government supposed to address the broad issue of racism, other than to say use a blanket statement to cover all minorities? It's an interesting issue.
