Answer:

The sentence is true

Step-by-step explanation:

In sociology, a minority group or minority refers to a category of people who experience a relative disadvantage compared to members of a dominant social group. The membership of a minority group is usually based on differences in observable characteristics or practices, such as: sex, ethnicity, race, religion, disability, gender identity or sexual orientation, and using the intersectionality framework, it is important to recognize that a Individual can be a member of multiple minority groups (for example, a racial and religious minority). In the same way, individuals can also be part of a minority group with respect to some characteristics, but part of a dominant group with respect to others.
