Yes, they are not the majority of the US population, so they therefor have to be a minority.

Yes, they are; however, considering Asians are around 58% of the worlds population they shouldn't be by any means.

How are the ethnic groups different from each other?

A minority group is a subordinate group whose members have significantly less control or power over their own lives than the members of a dominant or majority group have over theirs. The number of people in a group does not necessarily determine its status as a social minority. Sociologist define a minority group with the concern of the economic and political power, or powerlessness, of that group. An example of a minority group in America are homosexuals, or Muslims. Neither group is properly represented politically, or economically, and both groups have issues with certain rights such as the right to marry in some states for homosexuals. "Ethnic" which derives from the Greek word "ethnos" pertains to culture. An ethnic group is a cultural group. They are distinguished by language, customs, cuisine, modes of dress and so on. In most countries there is one dominant majority culture, and members of that group are an ethnic group to be sure. However, it is also common to find countries where there are minority ethnic groups, to whom the majority ethnic group often shows great hostility. Also in places like America, ethnic groups can be composed of several different minority groups. In our "melting pot" we have Black Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, and so on that all compose of one big ethnic group.

What is the difference between a minority and ethnic group?

minorities refer to any ethic group in a country or area that is not the largest ethnic group. For instance, in the United States Caucasians (whites) are the majority ethnic group; while Blacks, Asians, Native Americans and so on are minorities, or minority ethnic groups. However a minority is not limited to being an ethnic group, for example left handed people are a minority in the world.
