How to destroy people: Make them "untouchable"
 |
| Hey, f*ck, this happened to me in the USA! |
Japan's Burakumin ("village people") are a people within a people. For hundreds of years they experienced direct persecution that has kept them from being fully functional members of society.
Even though they were released from their low caste in the 1800's, the stigma attached to them remains to this day.
The one thing this look is missing that the maker wishes he'd added, is the historic discrimination against Koreans and how it is interwoven into the village folk (and modern-day Yakuza). It is worth looking into for anyone itching to learn and understand more.
