According to the U. S. Census Bureau, since 2004 Texas has had a minority population of at least 11.3 million, comprising 50.2 percent of its total population of 22.5 million. The primary minority group is Mexican Americans. However, despite this numerical prominence, Texas has never had a Mexican American governor and the percentage of Mexican Americans in its state House has never been higher than 26. Why would a sociologist still call Mexican Americans a minority group?

    Answer: C. They are denied access to power and resources.

    Explanation:

    There are certain policies in place that ensure that minority groups remain subservient. These policies are mostly not cast in stone or written down but rather permitted to ensure that the minority groups are limited in their acquisition of resources which would translate to them being unable to wrest power from the hands of the majority.
