grupos minoritarios


Explanation:
La traducción más literal que se me ocurre sería "orígenes minoritarios" pero lo que he puesto arriba es más común. O podrías decir "otros grupos de origen minoritario. Una de las referencia muestra ejemplos de "origen minoritario".

de otro origen étnico minoritario; con otros antecedentes étnicos minoritarios


Explanation:
o de otra procedencia étnica diferente

... que otras personas de origen étcnico minoritario

...que otras personas con antecedentes étnicos minoritarios

... o que otras personas de procedencia étnica minoritaria.

These are other options, but I believe the critical word here is "backgrounds"
(origen étnico, antecedentes étnicos, de procedencia étnica)

Happy translating! ;o) Maria
