I thougth of the idiomatic expression "silent majority". Nothing to do with ethnic groups, but meaning those who live life either in peace or sorrow, but not making any scandal about it.
Also interpretable as a majority that stays silent when minorities are ill used, deported or massacred. Or those that are forced to be silent through political pressure and vulnerability. I don't know what happened to my previous attempt to reply. If a very truncated msg shows up --- SORRY! And, now to the intended reply. After only a little more than a month in office, the Obama Administration is supporting a bill in the US Senate that would strip American workers of the right to a secret ballot in union elections via the falsely-named Employee Free Choice Act. Just one small step toward totalitarianism.

Well so far I like "plurality" better than "majority" though I'm beginning to think there's no term for what I imagine. Could I suggest as a contender "The Establishment"
