Explanation:

To better understand the above-mentioned definitions we would use some examples:

Elder people can be considered as a minority group in the United States because of their reduced status as a consequence of popular discrimination and prejudice against them. In contrast to them, young men consisting of more than half the population in the age category is an example of the majority group.

Groups of people like Hispanic Americans, Jews, Italian America, Irish are some examples of people belonging to different ethnic backgrounds residing in the U.S.

African Americans who are distinguished based on their skin color is an example of race.
