Dominant minority

Several instances of dominant ethnic minorities exist or did exist in Africa. In South Africa during the apartheid regime, where white South Africans, more specifically Afrikaners, wielded predominant control of the country, despite never composing more than 22 percent of the population. African-American-descended nationals in Liberia, white Zimbabweans in Rhodesia, and the Tutsi in Rwanda since the 1990s also have been cited as current or recent examples. == North America ==

From the invasion of New France in the 1760s and the formation of Canada in 1867 until the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s, the economy of Quebec was greatly dependent on the English speaking minority in Quebec, who comprised roughly 7.5-15% of the provincial population (heavily centred in Montreal and comprising a majority of the population of Montreal between the 19th and early to mid 20th century) throughout Quebec's post–Royal French Canadian history, despite the Francophone Québécois' comprising more than 80% of the province's population. ==See also==
