On the one hand, it represents a commitment to fairness and functionality alike, with the will of the majority given the space and power it deserves in order to be acted upon. On the other hand, and as a vital complement, it also recognizes the danger of oppression of minority groups by the democratic majority; thus, it seeks to create appropriate space for minorities of any kind to continue to flourish despite (or even because of) their differences with the majority.

That is 100% false. Any differences between minority groups and majority groups in a society have far more to do with environmental factors (schooling, work opportunities, class and culture distinctions) than with heredity.All humans are 99.99% the same at the genetic level; to our DNA, variations in skin color and eyelid shape are as meaningless as eye color and nose shape. However, throughout history (from the Mongol hordes to Portuguese slave raids to Nazi pogroms) these visible differences have been used to justify the supposed superiority of the majority at the expense of the minority group.
