No, though I currently have a minority representative.

I also once lived in a majority-minority county.

nope I was in NY-1 for college and other than that have lived in NY-3 my whole life (unless I was in a different district the first few months of my life right before the re-districting prior to the 82 election took place) but even if that was the case the answer is still no.

I'm pretty sure that the Welsh Assembly constituency (Westminster at the next election) I'm in now is majority Welsh speaking. Does that count?

I think I live in a state that is on pace to be majority-minority.

The borough (to use the closest equivalent term) I currently live in is - approximately 45% ethnic German. The Landtag constituency is not.

Is Texas mostly Hispanic yet? I would've guessed plurality but not majority...

It's over 50% minority, though that would include Hispanics, African-Americans, Asians, etc. Whites may still be the plurality, I don't know.

About 48% non-hispanic white as of last ACS. Unless I've added things up wrong. Which is possible. And about 36% hispanic.

According to my American Political almanac, it was 52% White, 32% Hispanic in 2000. It's probably significantly less white by now though.

I think the 48% is Hispanic + Black.  Asians would likely put it over the top.

Amusingly, I have never resided in anything but a majority-minority Congressional district (though back in the 1980s, I'm not really sure).

Nope.  We're about 85% white, and that's one of the more diverse areas around.

Nope. I'm currently in OH-9 and used to live in OH-5, both of which have a white majority.
