I've always been interested in how societies treat non-majority groups. From my days of studying Japanese society I can remember a number of these groups. My question is what are these groups currently called. In the US African-Americans have gone from negro to black and finally to the hypenated title form used by many other ethnic groups. This change has reflected the politically correct form which in turn has been mainly determined by how the group being spoken about wishes to be referred to
Is this also the case in Japan? For example, has the term for the Burakumin changed? If so, to what? I would be interested in hearing any information or comments other forum members might have on this subject.
