Minor

A rude thing to call someone under 18.

Calling someone a minor can be seen as offensive, or just plain rude. It can make you seem like a jerk or a douche if you're calling someone a "minor" if your conversation has nothing to do with the law. In a way, it could be verybelittling to them.

Minority - smaller number. Like, a religion.

Minor - a key or note. There are major and minor versions of a song.

First example, legal: "you were caught selling alcohol to a minor."
Douchy example: "bruh. You're a minor."

Minority: "yeah, my religion is a minority."

Minor: "well, let's see how this song sounds in minor key!"
