Again, they're synonyms in the US context purely because of demographics. Its not shameful to be a minority or offensive to say that someone is a minority. If I go to a yoga class I fully expect that my gender would be "othered" in that context.
Focus on the real issues, like that we're deporting people based on race to concentration camps without so much as a hearing, not whether or not products formulated for people with uncommon hair are in the uncommon hair section.
That's easy for you to say from your (obviously) majority position. Being othered in society has real consequences in people's lives. YOU don't experience them, but they are there.
