Topic of passage B ·
Capotorti's definition of "minority"
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.
Problem ·
Definition doesn't apply to the Roma
Because of criterion #5, the legal criterion of citizenship.
Author's perspective ·
Citizenship criterion shouldn't be included in Capotorti's definition
Because countries can deny the Roma minority status simply by denying them citizenship.
