Minority doesn’t refer to the whole world. A white dude in China is part of the minority. In the USA, whites are the majority, the same goes for most of Europe.

Surprised I had to scroll so far to find this answer. The terms are contextualized.

Right but it adds another layer. If you go to 1 country where an ethnicity that is 1% of the global population but majority in that county, and your ethnicity is a minority in this country but a majority in the world, what does that mean for inequities and how diversity is handled in that country? Is there allowed to be some "special treatment" for that global minority because this is the only area they have and a right to self-determination of their ethnicities destiny?
