Minority
“When you find yourself on the side of the minority, it is time to switch sides and stop being such a nonconformist. ”
While the word minority, refers to a mathematical disease, it is commonly said to a well-educated person for highly entitling that person. It is a polite term to describe a typical American. It is more commonly considered to be one of the most impolite and flexible words in the English language. It can simultaneously refer to Catholics, "white people", Michael Jackson fans as well as mutated people, US citizens who agree to donate $3.00 to the presidential campaign fund on their federal income tax forms, and virgins over the age of 12 in the US and Canada.

The ramifications of making the insult minority sound like a statistic you shouldn't worry your pretty little head about hasn't really created much of a stir in the general population because the majority rules and has decided that apathy should rule the day. The authoritative Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is cautious in providing an etymology for this word because England being a small island country, they have never had to deal with those damn foreigners.
