Also, it should be noted that [[TruthInTelevision there can be strong correlations between belonging to one type of minority and another]]. For instance, in a global context, most adherents of non-Christian religions also happen to belong to non-"white" ethnic groups, which from Western perspective makes most Muslims[[note]] although several Balkan countries have large muslim but ethnically slavic populations [[/note]], Hindus, Buddhists, and others worldwide automatic "twofers" (and the female ones "threefers"). And strangely enough, many twofers are Black and Jewish, yet there is almost no acknowledgment of Ethiopian Jews (Beta Israel). Not to mention the fact that race has no correlation with whether someone is LGBT, disabled, or otherwise a member of non-cultural minorities. In RealLife this is called a "double minority", with people who fit into these often having to face extra prejudices (e.g. lesbians of color struggle against racism, sexism, ''and'' homophobia).
