| явное или очевидное меньшинство (имхо) |
| What context is this expression used in? |
|
It is a clause from Sex Role Portrayal Code for Television and Radio Programming. The expression is given in a following way: "Special attention should be paid to ethnic and visible minorities." BeutifulEyes thanks for assisting, V thanks for interest. |
| На мой взгляд, здесь речь идет о меньшинствах, ...играющих определенную роль в обществе, социально-значимые группы. Точнее пока не получается. |

Visible minorities are persons who are not of the majority race in a given population. For example, in Canada, visible minorities are defined as "persons, other than Aboriginals who are non-Caucasian in race or non-white in colour." The term is primarily used in Canada and is a demographic category used by Statistics Canada in connection with that country's multiculturalism policies. It is also occasionally used in the United Kingdom, but not in other parts of the world. |

явно иноэтничные? (ой, боюсь, боюсь...) |
| Если проигнорировать политкорректность, то "цветные" |
| просто ethnic and visible minorities перевести как "национальные меньшинства", не разделяя |
| imho, etnicheskie i rassovye men'shinstva? visible minority is used in britain and australia too, not just in canada, to mean people other than white. but for some bizarro reason it hasn't taken root in pc-obsessed america. americans would use 'ethnic and racial minorities' here. some euphemisms just can't be translated, they have to be interpreted. |
