There are few minorities at pretty much every startup event, if you discount east Asians that is.

That's not very surprising since they are "minorities", implying that there aren't as many of them.
Minority in the sociological sense doesn't necessarily refer to numbers, but voting majority. ie. blacks in South Africa during apartheid outnumbered whites but were a sociological minority.
That's really stretching the meaning of the word.
