In the US, generally speaking, minorities have the same rights as other citizens. In a state or large city there may be five or six minority groups. Enforcing laws would become very difficult, especially if there is a doubt concerning a person's nationality or race. For example, if Native Americans had special rights in New York City, there may be a question regarding if indeed they are Native Americans. In many places and in Federal Laws, there are what are called hate crimes. This normally applies to minorities or people with gender related issues. If such a minority has a crime committed against them, there are special laws that apply to such a person being targeted because they are Chinese, as one example. These laws are needed to protect minorities from hate crimes.
Minorities should have equal rights and opportunities as every other group in society. It is important to promote equality and ensure that all individuals are treated fairly and have access to the same rights and protections under the law. However, there can be instances where affirmative action or other policies may be necessary to address historical inequalities and create a more inclusive society.
No, the proportion of minorities in the US Congress does not match the proportion of minorities in the general US society. Minorities are underrepresented in Congress compared to their share of the population.
People of various backgrounds face persecution in today's world, including religious minorities, ethnic minorities, political dissidents, and LGBTQ+ individuals. Persecution can take the form of discrimination, violence, imprisonment, or even death. It is crucial for the international community to condemn and address instances of persecution to uphold human rights and promote peace and justice.
The term "Scheduled Castes" and "Scheduled Tribes" are used for ethnic minorities in the constitution of India.
Affirmative action can encompass a broad range of underrepresented groups, including both disadvantaged minorities and other marginalized demographics. The aim is to address systemic inequalities and promote diversity and inclusion. A comprehensive approach to affirmative action ensures that all individuals facing obstacles have the opportunity to thrive.

One of the purposes of constitutional government is to protect the rights of minorities from the "tyranny of the majority." This is why we have civil rights and documents such as the Bill of Rights. The same principle protects religious minorities, ethnic minorities, linguistic minorities, racial minorities, etc. Indigenous peoples are protected analogously.

It was on 18th December, 1992 that the United Nations adopted and promulgated the Declaration on the Rights of Persons belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities declaring that : "States shall protect the existence of the national or ethnic, cultural, religious and linguistic identity of minorities within their respective territories and encourage conditions for the promotion of that identity" Accordingly, the National Commission for Minorities has been observing the 18thDecember as the Minorities Rights Day every year.
Minority rights are rights of minorities that cannot be taken away by a vote of the majority.
It's hard to say without all the information, but in general, no social group should be given special rights, but all social groups should have equal rights.
