Discriminated Areas

Prejudices remain in Japanese society such as LGBT and sexual minorities. Also, people tend to prejudice the residents who live in certain areas. It is based on professions of hundreds of years ago. Those residents worked as, for example, disposing of dead bodies, which was thought of as a job for low-status people. People still prejudice the people who lived in the area. There are about one thousand areas in Japan that still experience this treatment. Sadly, the Japanese tend to look down people based on their birthplace. Personally, I often talk with non-Japanese people around the world, so I don’t care about such things in our society.
