Minority and origination are two totally different groups of people.
You can have a minority who isn't an immigrant, and an immigrant who is not a minority.
An immigrant from Africa who is black would be considered an immigrant and a minority. An immigrant from France who is white would be considered an immigrant but not a minority. And the reverse is true. A white immigrant from Africa would be considered an immigrant but not a minority. A black immigrant from France would be considered an immigrant and a minority. A black person born in America is not considered an immigrant, only a minority. A white person born in America is neither an immigrant or a minority.
Immigration is related to a persons original birth place, and minority is related to a persons ethnicity.
Should minorities and immigrants alike celebrate the 4th of July? Absolutely. If you live in the United States of America, July 4th 1776 is a date that should be celebrated by you. If it wasn't for that day, America would not be possible.
I would say America has come quite a long way with both immigration and minority issues. And all that is possible because of America being a free country.
