This answer applies to the United States only.
As of 2012, the largest minority group is currently those who identify as Hispanic/Latinos, which overtook Blacks as the largest minority group sometime between the 2000 and 2010 census. Due to some slightly strange methodology, the US Census does not count "Hispanic or Latino" as a separate racial category, but an ethnicity; it allows one to identify as "Hispanic or Latino" AFTER picking one of the racial choices - thus, the Census provides data on "White, Hispanic or Latino", "Black, Hispanic or Latino", "Asian, Hispanic or Latino" as categories. Most demographers are more exacting in their breakdown of racial/ethnic categories.
In addition, depending on variations in Immigration and intermarriage, Caucasian whites are expected to drop below 50% of the population sometime before 2040, so the United States will no longer have a "majority" race.
