Rather it was for the exact same observance that you had when you first moved to Japan. 'Burakku' is the cool slang way of referencing black people in Japanese.

So many teens and young adults love everything Japanese pop culture has to offer, but hardly put forth the effort to learn about the history or the Japanese way of life. It actually makes me feel a bit better knowing the Japanese do the same thing!
