Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The burakumin is a hereditary caste system in Japan, who were historically considered to be "untouchables" and worked in occupations seen as impure or unclean, such as leather-working or butchery. The discrimination against them, known as buraku discrimination, persists to this day despite efforts to abolish it. Brazil, Egypt, and India also have caste systems, but they are not specifically known as the burakumin.
