 | | The former is pre-eminent among pure-blooded Ainu and Ryukyuan people. | | | The Ainu, Koreans, and Japanese are believed to be somewhat largely derived from the Tungusic group which is often speculated as related to Altaic. | | | While most Japanese live on the islands, some emigrated, predominantly to Hawaii, the west coast of the United States and Canada, Latin America (particularly, Brazil), and Russia, (particularly, Sakhalin and Primorsky Krai). |

| | Japan's Suppression of Ainu Moshiri |
| | In view of this historical background, the statements by the Japanese Government that the Ainu people are not legally discriminated against are clear indications of the suppression of the human rights of the Ainu people by the Japanese government. | | | That the present assimilation policy is aimed at the extinction of the Ainu people, is clear from the fact that there is not legislation in Japan that guarantees the national rights of the Ainu People, nor is there any government agency concerned with the affairs of the Ainu people. | | | There are still wide social and economic gaps between the Ainu people and other Japanese people, and the rights stipulated in Article 27 of the Government report are not actually guaranteed for the Ainu people. |

| | The term "Ainu Kantei" (Ainu calculation) was born out of the fraudulent and deceptive trade policy which was forced on the Ainu people under the land-lease system. | | | Under the unfair trade practices, the Ainu people were forced into unavoidable debts. | | | Under the assimilation policy of the Meiji Government, use of the Ainu language, was forbidden, and Ainu manners and customs were suppressed by force. |

| | This is what the Ainu people have been seeking for many years from the Japanese government as redress for the historical injustices imposed on them. | | | Instead, the government had characterized the Ainu as an ethnic minority group and asserted that the Ainu people were entitled only as individuals to equal protection under the Japanese Constitution. | | | Under the present Constitution promulgated in 1946, the Japanese society and its government was formally democratized and the Ainu people (as Japanese nationals) were entitled to equal protection by law. |

| | Asia Times: Ainu discrimination defies the law |
| | A group of Ainu filed a lawsuit two years ago to halt a plan to return their land by the Hokkaido government, which they say have been woefully undervalued. | | | Yoshida, himself an Ainu, says that despite continued discrimination, the new law is important because it recognizes the rights of indigenous people of Japan. | | | A survey conducted in October by the Hokkaido government revealed that 12.4 percent of Ainu had faced discrimination, such as being rejected by potential marriage partners. |

| | The Ainu practically lost all autonomy, lost all former land (being resettled), and lost all freedom (forced into labor) (Siddle 46). | | | All of these perturbations of racism in Japan sprung off of the backs of Ainu subjugation, which were continuously defined within the realm of racist rationale. | | | With the Ainu exhibition in the Saint Louis World’s Fair, the Japanese had an opportunity to topple racist ideology in support of Prof. |

| | AINU? - Stormfront White Nationalist Community |
| | Maybe 20,000 people on Hokkaido can claim a degree of Ainu genetical heritage but probably there are no full blooded Ainu left. | | | Basically the events during and after WWII further reduced the number of the Ainu and dumped additional hundreds of thousands of Japanese on their island. | | | The alternative — to show that the clear blooded Ainu was down to a few dozen people at most, was probably politically unacceptable. |

| | This mythology became a useful defense for the Japanese expropriation of Ainu lands. | | | In the late 20th Century, much speculation arose that the Ainu may have been one of the first groups to settle North America. | | | There is an umbrella group of which most Hokkaido Ainu and some other Ainu are members, called the Hokkaido Utari Association, originally controlled by the government with the intention of speeding Ainu assimilation and integration into the Japanese nation-state but which now operates mostly independently of the government and is run exclusively by Ainu. |
