Dojin definition

Dojin literally means “local people” in Japanese. However, the meaning changed after Japanese used it against Ainu people, especially when the Japanese government created a law called “the Hokkaido Former Natives Protection Law” (Hokkaido Kyu-Dojin Ho) in 1899. This law was nothing but a humiliating discriminatory law that used the term “dojin” as a derogatory epithet for the Ainu people in its title. From this historical perspective, we can see that the word “dojin” has roots in racial discrimination against the Ainu people.
