Nonhispanic whites are 44% of CA. That's a minority.

Nonhispanic whites make up only 32% of UC Berkeley. That's underrepresented.

OK, you are correct.

Though I still think the statement, "any state where nonhispanic whites are a minority (e.g., CA), they are typically an underrepresented minority" is very much hyperbole, which was the point I was trying to make.
