Ang Burakumin så står det såhär i Wikipedia:
According to a survey conducted by the*Tokyo Metropolitan Government*in 2003, 76% of Tokyo residents would not change their view of a close neighbor whom they discovered to be a burakumin; 4.9% of respondents, on the other hand, would actively avoid a burakumin neighbor. There is still a*stigmaattached to being a resident of certain areas traditionally associated with the burakumin and some lingering*discrimination*in matters such as*marriage*and employment.
