the lgbt community has come really far and lately
Oh, absolutely! Though lgb a lot more than t. But yes, I agree that the fight for equality is working. My point is that while they are fighting this battle, they still have much less power than other people, and everyone has much less power than the billionaires. This discussion started by saying that the minorities were the cause of all the problems in the world. By saying they are powerless, I don't mean they cannot do anything; I mean they have less power than most other people, and they certainly don't have the power to topple the economy.
it's just an obscure thing that you may have actually just made up.
Yes, I also took it as an example of a group of people who aren't part of any minority; neither one that is discriminated against, nor a powerful elite. My point here was that the minorities that are discriminated against have less power than those "random" people. They use all their power to fight for equality. Sure, it gets them some results, but they still aren't treated equally by society. So if you call the Estonian donkey wranglers "powerless" (which is reasonable, I think), then those minorities have negative power.
