"minority"
1 comments

This doesn't help the discussion. Also, anything less than half is a minority.
Not everyone participates, some are scared probably.

The hongkongers are protesting, so in Hong Kong your minority is 100% of the residents.

Your statement is deceptive

Are you saying that every Hong Kong resident would choose to protest if not scared?
If a country is 33.33% of three different groups, are all 3 a minority?
I suppose so. Though it's much clearer when the matter is dichotomous, such as "going to protest"/"not going", and "GOP"/"Democratic" (I know, I know, but independent is not significant).
