No, they are not the majority - whites are.
Really?

"Across all racial and ethnic groups, 15 percent of the nonelderly are poor. Blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans, however, each have poverty rates almost twice as high as Asians and almost three times as high as whites. Among low-income persons, inequalities across racial and ethnic groups persist. While 26 percent of whites and 29 percent of Asians are low-income, the rate is 49 percent for blacks, 54 percent for Native Americans, and 61 percent for Hispanics."
