I think you may be referring to "compelled testimony", but the "privilege against self-incrimination" is a misnomer and an incorrectly defined and incorrectly expressed concept.
Amendment V to the U.S. Constitution confers a broadly-defined and broadly-conferred right to remain silent. It is not an absolute right, but where it exists in the law it is a fundamental right, and it is assured by the United States Constitution as a matter of both U.S. and State citizenship.

What is the importance of minority?
It has been said that rights are either absolute, or do not exist at all. Meaning that unless a right is always present, and applies to everyone, it is not a right but a privilege. Privileges can be granted or taken away, rights cannot. From this perspective - if rights are denied to a minority then they are really being denied to everyone.
