All minorities used to be immigrants, don't you think is a correct statement?
No, although in my post I was referring to racial minority, the word minority isn't just for racial minorities. It refers to gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability and other aspects. A few examples:
children born here from immigrant parents are not immigrants, they might just be part of a minority, but they didn't immigrate from anywhere. Statistics tend to pile them with immigrants but they aren't
some jewish italians didn't immigrate from anywhere also, but they are still a religious (and sometimes ethnic) minority
lgbtq people are a minority, but they can be as the same time part of the majority population, or have come here on a boat persecuted by some goverment, or any other intersection of life
italy has always had ethnic minorities (link in Italian), we just don't talk about them that much :-)
dark skinned immigrants from southern Italy to the Americas weren't considered white for a long time (so even the term white has changed I guess :D)
It's a truly complicated topic (it touches culture, religion, heritage, genetics, history and so on) and I'm not the most qualified person to talk about it but I would thread carefully because stereotypes and assumptions are what usually box in any type of minority
Thanks for asking, that's what I do when I'm in doubt :D
ps. in a sense the answer should be yes. If we go back far enough in time, since mankind started on the continent we now call Africa, then all minorities used to be immigrants at some point ;-)
