I'm not defending the pretentiousness of claiming to speak for a group that doesn't wish to be spoken for, but a view being a minority view doesn't mean it's an incorrect view. Maybe some minorities know something the majority doesn't, or maybe the experience of being in a minority alone provides an insight that the majority lacks (the inverse of which is sometimes referred to using the IMO insufficiently specific word "privilege").
