In Japan, the burakumin

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The burakumin are not a racial group, but rather a socially stigmatized minority group in Japan, often referred to as "outcasts" or "untouchables." They face discrimination and are often associated with work traditionally considered "unclean," such as leatherworking or undertaking. They are Japanese citizens and do not have mixed ancestry. They are not considered the cream of Japan's racial categories, nor do they constitute a numerical majority in Japan.
