Buraku

Buraku, or Burakumin describes a social minority in Japan. Historically, this term was applied to people whose physical address (or that of their ancestors) lay to the North of Tokyo. To those outside of Japan, a similar social schism might be those who come from poor communities (ghettos).

It smells like a Buraku in here.
