Minority is to be understood in the original, large, sociological sens: a part of the population than isn't a minority per se, but is treated as one by society. Basically if you are not born a white heterosexual male ... you are a minority. So ladies, gays and trans are minorities, too.

I would say this trope is to be recognised only when the girl can't be considered a protagonist and for this reason maybe i would'nt include Wreck It ralph.  But personnaly i think this it's tropeworthy. It's something like the magical negro but adapted to girls: it's still a male world, but we allow a couple of feisty girls to live in it.

Chell From the Road to Eldorado certainly fits the parts, being a sexy sarcastic burglar in a story featuring almost exclusively male characters: the two protagonist, the priest (foe), the king (ally) ...

Another exemple would be One Piece, especially Nami: You have only too girls in a crew of nine, and the main players of the Univers, the most formidable fighters are Always Male : Gol d Roger, Silvers Rayleight, Hawkeye, White Beard, Ace, The Shishibukais,
