Florida is not considered one of the top majority-minority states. Majority-minority states are characterized by having populations where people of color constitute a majority over non-Hispanic white individuals. As of the latest data, Texas, D.C., and Hawaii are among the states where minorities make up the majority of the population.

Texas has a significant Hispanic population along with sizable African American and Asian communities. D.C. has a majority African American population and a growing number of other ethnic groups. Hawaii's population is notably diverse, with a significant percentage of Asian and Pacific Islander individuals.

Florida, while it has a diverse population, still has a larger percentage of non-Hispanic whites relative to its overall demographic composition, so it does not meet the criteria to be classified as a majority-minority state like the other three options. Thus, the understanding of demographic distributions and the specifics of minority populations helps clarify why Florida stands apart from Texas, D.C., and Hawaii in this context.
