i've seen people say that the only minority that you can become is disabled. and i focus a lot on disability here, but that's just not true? like, migration is the number one way to make a person who was previously part of a majority become part of a minority. you can also change religion from one that's a local majority to one that is locally quite rare
and that's because "minority" isn't an innate status that's immutable, it's a descriptive term that attempts to make inferences about your relationship with the world and society around you. when we talk about minorities, oppression, structural ableism, etc. it's not a commentary on the nature of things, it's an observation about how society and people and countries and culture works. and if you don't understand that then you won't understand how to liberate people from oppression
