Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to discuss minorities in a broader context of community. Through a cross-reading of Jacques Derrida and Jean-Luc Nancy, I endeavour to show in what way ontology or, to be more precise, the ontology of being-with, may bring a new perspective on the purely cultural concept of minority. Thus, instead of pondering on what being a minority or being in a minority means today, I rather try to say what if we all were meant to be with minorities, since being as such is always being with all different others (Nancy) and being with something/someone else which/who is (t)here.
