Funny (NYT)

Article talking about the Bahrain protests. Below is a quote talking about the signs that Sunni minority has been oppressing the the Shia majority:

"Here in Bahrain, we have been in bed with a minority Sunni elite that has presided over a tolerant, open and economically dynamic country — but it’s an elite that is also steeped in corruption, repression and profound discrimination toward the Shia population. If you parachute into a neighborhood in Bahrain, you can tell at once whether it is Sunni or Shia: if it has good roads and sewers and is well maintained, it is Sunni; otherwise, it is Shia.

Funny, because replace "Shia" with "minority" and you have the exact same picture in the US.
