Wikipedia
Burakumin
Burakumin (部落民, 'hamlet/village people', 'those who live in hamlets/villages') is a name for a social group in Japan. It is a term for ethnic Japanese people who are believed to descend from the pre-Meiji castes associated with kegare (穢れ, 'defilement'), such as executioners, undertakers, slaughterhouse workers, butchers, or tanners. During Japan's feudal era, these occupations acquired a hereditary status of untouchability, and became an unofficial caste of the Tokugawa class system during the Edo period. Due to severe discrimination and ostracism in Japanese society, these groups came to live as outcasts, in their own separate villages or ghettos. After the caste system was abolished, the term burakumin came into use to refer the former caste members and their descendants, who continued to experience stigmatization and discrimination.
