    The document defines ethnic minorities as groups set apart from others due to their national origin or cultural patterns. It describes ethnicity as relating to cultural factors like nationality and language. Ethnic minorities live with cultural traditions that depart from the dominant society. People can become minorities through migration, colonialism, or annexation when a country is joined to another nation. Minorities have historically been treated through extermination, expulsion, segregation, cultural pluralism, assimilation into the dominant culture, or amalgamation into a combined form.
