We are a representative democracy. Most definitely a well recognized form of democracy. It too can be bad for minorities, as we see today.

It can be especially bad for minorities when they have been brainwashed into voting for the democratic party. A party that views them simply as a reliable voting bloc and a weapon to be used against their adversaries. They claim to be fighting for them, all the while enacting policy that destroys them and their future, this going back to LBJ.
