For the most part, Japanese society is linguistically and culturally homogeneous with small populations of foreign workers, Zainichi Koreans, Zainichi Chinese, Filipinos, Japanese Brazilians and others. The most dominant native ethnic group is the Yamato people; the primary minority groups include the indigenous Ainu (northern Japan) and Ryukyuan (southern japan and okinawa), as well as social minority groups like the burakumin (although genetically the same as the yamato, they are socially considered a different race by most Japanese; often described as dirty, lazy, and dumb. As a result they suffer a lot discrimination).
