I don't think the US has a history of confining them to villages though...

  It certainly didn't call them villages. Rather preferred "plantation", "ghetto", "reservation", "inner city", "hazardous housing inventory". It also has a history of owning them as furniture, of killing them in many manners, of breaking treaties with them, of hanging them as town event, of not treating them, of banning them from states, cities, neighborhoods, of excluding them from society, public places, social benefits, … and I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch.

    Are we still talking about doctors and medical staff here? Sounds like you just want to drag a whole host of other issues into this conversation, but I urge you to try and stay focused on the discussion we're having, and not the one you seem to want to have...

      > Are we still talking about doctors and medical staff here? I assumed not since Japan does not have “a history of confining [doctors and medical staff] to villages” So your comment could only apply to the treatment of burakumin. > Sounds like you just want to drag a whole host of other issues into this conversation You’re the one who made mistreatment of minorities the issue, it’s not really my problem if it also makes you uncomfortable.
