Abstract
Although there is still no generally agreed-upon definition of the concept “minority,” it has become clear that most indigenous peoples also qualify as minorities (while having some extra characteristics). Immigrant minorities are increasingly accepted as new minorities, while there are still states and academics that do not fully embrace this understanding. In essence, minority protection is about the accommodation of population diversity, which is less sensitive for states that tend to relate minorities to irredentist movements.
