Answer:

B. are stigmatized despite being genetically indistinguishable from other Japanese

Step-by-step explanation:

The Burakumin is a group in Japan who are considered outcasts and are ostracized and stigmatized. They fall at the bottom of the traditional Japanese social order. This is because they were historically known in Japanese feudal era to have engaged in impure occupations such as executioners, undertakers, butchers, workers in slaughter houses, and generally because these occupations are considered dirty and are tainted by death
