minority representation
Smaller group inclusion
Minority representation refers to the presence and visibility of underrepresented groups—racial, ethnic, religious, or other minorities—in positions of power, media, or public life.
In politics, it concerns whether legislative bodies reflect the diversity of their constituents: The new district map was designed to increase minority representation.
In entertainment and business, it addresses whether marginalized groups appear in meaningful roles rather than as tokens or stereotypes.
