Content: By the standards of other nations, the Japanese are one of the most  homogeneous people on earth. Under two million foreigners (less than one  percent of the total Japanese population) live in Japan. Koreans  constitute well over one-half of resident minorities. There are also two  indigenous minority groups in Japan, the Ainu and the Burakumin. The Ainu, a Caucasian people, number around 24,381 and live  mainly in special reservations in central Hokkaidō. Ethnically, the  approximately two million Burakumin are no different than other Japanese,  but have traditionally engaged in low-status occupations; and although  they have the same legal status as their fellow citizens, they are often  discriminated against. Shinto, an indigenous religion, is the most popular  spiritual practice in Japan, followed by Buddhism, a Korean and Chinese  import. Followers of other religions constitute less than one percent of  the Japanese population. Culturally, the Japanese are children of China  but have their own rich native culture and have also borrowed extensively  from Western countries.
