Answer:

The Answer is c

Japan, burakumin no longer

constitute a numerical majority.

Step-by-step explanation:

Burakumin means Hamlet or it is also refer to those who live in an outcast group at the bottom of the traditional Japanese social order that has historically been the victim of severe discrimination. They were originally members of outcast communities in the Japanese feudal era, composed of those with occupations considered impure which have severe social stigmas attached to them. Traditionally, the Burakumin lived in their own communities or hamlets. Although in recent times, they have spread and many now lives in the cities. The feudal caste system in Japan formally ended in 1869 when the Meiji government was formed,In 1871, the newly formed Meiji government issued a decree that gave Burakumin outcasts equal legal status But discrimination still continue in some part of Japan.
