Ethnic Minorities are a voter group in Democracy 3.
The ethnic minority group consists of everyone who is not part of the majority ethnic group of a country. They may be (or be born to) immigrants.

Ethnic minorities are obviously concerned by racism in society, and will also be concerned by immigration policy that could be seen as discriminatory. They may also have strong views on foreign relations, given relatives overseas.
