once again we struggle with opposites (what's the opposite of minority). Aristotle discussed the logical aspects of opposites.

There are said, in the book of Categories, to be four kinds of opposites. Relative opposites are relate and correlate of a disquiparant relation [e.g., husband and wife]. Contrary opposites are the most unlike species of the same genus, as black and white, sickness and health. The third kind of opposition is between a habit and its privation, as sight and blindness. The fourth kind is between affirmation and negation. This passage has prevented the word opposite from taking any definite meaning in philosophy. - Dictionary of Philosophy and Psychology [EA]
