affirmative action a policy to make sure certain groups of people are given a fair chance for jobs and education. In particular, this policy is for minority groups and women who were not given these opportunities in the past. Regulations made by the U.S. government support affirmative action.
minority A minority is less than half of a whole group of people or things. If a minority of a school's students sign up for sports, it means that less than half of them sign up. [2 definitions]
