Can non-minorities understand what its like to be a minority?

I think its only after experiencing what it was like to be an ethnic minority in China that i understood the "minority" experience.

I don’t think being a minority due to traveling to an exotic location and being a minority in a civilized nation because your ancestors never accomplished anything noteworthy is the same experience.

@GallantlyChurlish I live and work in China where i am one of the only foreigners in the city. Also, i admit the Chinese context is particular to itself.

I don’t know much about living in China, but I have lived and worked in multiple countries between KSA and India. My experience was usually that people were hospitable and as interested in my home nation and perspectives as I was in learning more about theirs.
I’ll have to make it to China, some day.
