Five criteria: (1) Smaller than the rest of the population; (2) Nondominant; (3) Distinctive characteristics; (4) Desire to preserve their culture; (5) Citizens of the country where they live.
The Roma meet all criteria except citizenship. Author's perspective: the Roma should be considered a minority throughout Europe.
