What is Minoritized

Chapter 13
Critical Perspectives on Social Justice in Speech-Language Pathology
To be minoritized means to be pushed to the margins often by means out of your own control ( Paniagua, 2015 ). The authors choose to use this word intentionally in lieu of the term “minority” as it is not due to the lack of representative numbers that disenfranchises people of marginalized experiences, rather the socio-cultural hierarchies and policies that negatively impact them. For example, white billionaire women who independently gained their financial success are a minority within the United States. However, their experience in the world is not minoritized nor disenfranchised given that their race and economic status holds power. However, using this term is not a perfect perspective as it centers the power of white culture instead of honoring the identities of these communities.

Abstract
This chapter will provide the reader with information on the importance of grassroots organization in addressing social justice issues for speech-language pathologists (SLP). The authors provide background information on the use of social media to promote social justice efforts. The chapter also identifies and discusses the development and implementation of two online platforms that have been effective in raising awareness about the importance of diversity, advocacy, and social justice issues in the field of speech-language pathology. It provides the reader with important information on the issues and problems in the field of SLP that led to the development of the two online platforms and the processes involved with developing them. Finally, the chapter concludes with a description of previous and current goals and outcomes, along with future endeavors of both platforms and recommendations for others who are interested in using social media as a tool to transform professional environments to facilitate justice within the discipline and society.

Religious and Ethnic Identification of Minoritized Youth in Hong Kong: Exploring Acculturation Outcomes
Minoritized groups in any society are those defined as “minorities’ by a dominant group that is numerically larger than the ethnic group. This involves a power relationship between dominant and minoritized groups who often prefer not to be labelled as a ‘minority’ because of the suggestion that they are somehow subordinate to the larger dominant group.
