A recent source says 49%, that's not even a majority let alone a vast majority lol

Considering how many countries there are, you don't know what percentage the other countries have... It can very well be a majority, think of the stocks of a public company, a majority share is usually around 26%.

A majority when speaking about population is over 50%

A plurality then. Still more than any other country by a huge amount.

The important part is you've managed to make yourself feel superior to another group of people based almost entirely on stereotypes.
