The Ainu or the Aynu (Ainu アィヌ Aynu; Japanese: アイヌ Ainu; Russian: Aйны Ajny), in the historical Japanese texts Ezo/Ebisu (蝦夷) or Ainu (アイヌ), are an indigenous people of Japan (Hokkaido, and formerly northeastern Honshu) and Russia (Sakhalin, the Kuril Islands and formerly the Kamchatka Peninsula).[7]
The official number of the Ainu is 25,000, but unofficially is estimated at 200,000 due to many Ainu having been completely assimilated into Japanese society and, as a result, having no knowledge of their ancestry.
What's there to discuss about? Do Japanese people even give asingle fuck about Okinawans or "Ainu"?
Owen Cooper
Do they have any specific rights as a result of their cultural heritage? Like the casino thing among native Americans or herding reindeer among sami people.
Lincoln Gray
Caucasian were raped by Japanese monkeys
Jacob Cox
>They Wuz Caucasian and shiet.
Ainu were austroloid brainlet.
Thomas Jackson
The Japanese are a very oppressive people. The Ainu would have no specific rights.
Jeremiah Garcia
Ainus are pale abbos
Samuel James
There is no such thing. Rather, they are abused by the Japanese government. They got mixed with the Japanese monkey and the unique culture was lost.
Elijah Baker
Abbos are much older then the Jomon, ancestor of the Emishi, ancestors of the Ainu.
Ainus are basically Jomon people that were driven off into the North when Proto Korean and Chinese settlement came in.
Jordan Anderson
Ainus are almost the same as japs but with much more inbreeding and a little more eastern siberian ancestry.

Goddamn. Honestly her appearance wouldn't be as half bad if not for the retarded shiet.
Jacob Fisher
Are they close to the natives of Aussie?
William Sullivan
more natives of Taiwan. Papuans are noongas real brothers
Oliver Williams
i want passionate f**k while discussions about indigenous peoples problem
Connor King
The old Ainu had make-up like a monster. It seems like it will not be raped by Japs
Jordan Lewis
I have heard that they have the same genes as Tibetans

Probably not. My friend's family comes from Okinawa but she never appeared to have "Ryukyuan Identity" or something like that. She says that they came from Okinawa just like an American says his family comes from Florida. Her father is also a turbo Japnazi. She says her parents speak Japanese at home and that she learnt some phrases to speak with her grandparents, but obviously what they speak is some kind of Ryukyuan language. She didn't even know Ryukyuans were different from nips until I told her.
So, no, they don't give a sod about the other folk and I imagine it's the same with Ainu. It seems the Japanese succesfully erased these people's heritage. [spoiler] It's kind of sad, really T.T [/spoiler]
Also, has anyone heard about Shakushain? Pic related is a GT I got from the archive.
Ryan Robinson
I have been to Japan, but there was only plain face ugliness. Where do i go in Japan, can i meet like this?
Blake Foster
Rip. I actually liked reading about the little flairs of those seperate cultures.
Aaron Cox
It 's easy, just go to the anime world. Have you ever been there? There are plenty of beautiful girls:D
Hunter Russell
Not him but i think she's really beautiful
Nicholas Russell
this topic that is likely to go crazy when Japan's alternative right wing. They seem to want to declare that there is no Ainu
Dominic Perez
Half Oki here, my mom never taught me hogen, but from listening to her speak it with family, and from what my older brother tells me, its relationship to Japanese is similar to that of English and Old English. Your friend is why we get looked down on by full Nips and Okis btw, she should be forcing her parents to try and actually teach her about her culture, I've been doing that for the last couple years, it's been interesting.
Ryder Thomas
science fears the samurai?
Nathaniel Fisher
There's clearly a relationship between these languages. They're a part of the same family, after all.
>she should be forcing her parents to teach her about her culture That's where the problem lies, friendo. Her relatives don't see themselves as Okinawans, but rather as Japanese that speak a different language. I already told her to do that but she's the laziest person alive. I guess it doesn't matter for her. She doesn't see herself as Japanese or Okinawan, but as a [MY COUNTRY]-an anyways.

>having no knowledge of their ancestry. I was talking to this person I know who grew up in Hokkaido and likes to think she is pretty smart. When I asked her about the Ainu, she was who, what, no that's not true, never heard of it.
Ayden Robinson
Tbf she's probably pretty smart, it's just Japanese nationalistic autistic propaganda means everyone must be the same, and there's no way Japanese people can be genetically or culturally distinct from one another no matter what actual history says
Dylan Anderson
Yeah some Ainu lives matter social movement would really improve this rotten, homogenous society. *happy merchant face*
Gabriel Thomas
>facts are jewish Lel, that's exactly why the Nazis weren't able to get the bomb back to /pol/ nigger.
Grayson Green
Yeah well, at first I just thought it was some dodgy history book that I'd read when I first mentioned it to her but have since seen other references to it. So now I am just assuming that it is ignorance. Not ignorance on her part but ignorance based on her just never, ever having learned about it. She would of gone through her entire school education, again in Hokkaido, and never heard a single reference to it through the Japanese education system nor through community based cultural events etc. Thank god for western historians sticking their noses into places where they dont belong in order to avoid cultural cleansings. I know this other Japanese person at the moment, I might ask her if she has ever heard of them, even though she is from Nagoya and would be less likely to know. But still educated in Japan though more recently. So might be able to see if their education system has changed over the years. We shall see.
Easton Rivera
Factually Ainus are basically completely assimilated both culturally and genetically. Another factoid: dividing the Japanese society along the borders of guilt ridden, retro active identity politics would do it no good. Keep that splendid practice to your American wonderland.
Sebastian Fisher
They look like japs mixed with sea niggers
Brody Collins
Why can they grow a beard while normal Japanese can't?

Ainus are of Caucasian race.
Xavier Gomez
Ami have ancient australoid Gene found in Highland Papua New Guinea

Nope.
Jaxson Howard
yeah,i think so too
Hunter Taylor
honestly the nips have pretty much obliterated any distinct Ainu culture so they pretty much warped reality to match their larping en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ainu_language >only about ten native speakers left >all over the age of 50 They also got caught up in WW2s after math with the Ainu in the Kurils and Sakhalin getting deported

Ian Adams

Male line descendants maybe, Józef Piłsudski had a couple of daughters and their descendants are around (all were either architects or psychiatrists last time I checked).
Jackson Morales
Ainu culture or ethnicity is just larping at this point of time. Sorry folks.
Kevin Phillips
are the matagi japonicized ainu or japanese influenced by ainu culture
Adam Cooper
Ainu have more Jomon mixture than regular Japanese do. The Jomon era was when Japan was inhabited by Hunter Gatherers prior to agriculture. brought by the Yamato Japanese.
Luis Ramirez

Why aren't there any jomon or ainu javs
Brody Richardson
14,000 years of history in Japan and all you want to know about the Ainu is whether their women fuck on camera?
Me too
Tyler Hill
She's an old hag
Brayden Martin
That's a black and white photo, on the dark side. Of course it says 'black and white'
Joseph Gomez
Yep, there are exceptions, of course. Does your aunt still live in Japan? I think that for Ryukyuans still in Japanese lands the sentiment of belonging to another culture is still strong, because the conquest of Ryukyu was not long ago.
I heard something about a separatist movement from the Ryukyuan islands but I'd really like to know if it has popularity there (nip anons help me). 「Pic related」
William Richardson
The vast majority of the public don't care about independence but the base issue there is bringing more attention to it.
Jaxson Wilson
>but unofficially is estimated at 200,000 due to many Ainu having been completely assimilated into Japanese society and, as a result, having no knowledge of their ancestry. Then they're not Ainu

I don't know, user: I had asked my fiancee (who is from Hakodate) about Ainu related stuff after discovering the manga "Golden Kamuy", and she told me they did learn about then. Not extensively or anything, but they did visit a museum about Ainu culture with school. But maybe that was specific of her school or more of a personal initiative from her teacher.
I don't know if she identifies with them at all, though, though she does like their art, especially the motifs. I'll have to ask her.
Evan Brooks
IIRC, most of their contact was with Japan (to whom they sold animal skins). After Russia annexed Kurils, they fled to their relatives in Japan.
If you look at the population today, it's mostly Ukrainians or someshit like that. All settlers. Kind of sucks that their homeland also happens to be the only source of some of the rarest minerals on Earth extremely important in the production of military shit. Russia is never going to give that shit back.
Daniel Campbell
i want to see young ainus

more please?

I am also looking for it on the google, but the young Ainu's image is few for some reason. Children's images are more fewer.

You need to understand Japanese population data here, they don't give a shit about ethnicity (officially), if you are born in Japan you are Japanese, it's how they keep up the whole homogeneous country meme into the modern day
Isaac Martinez
>those yellow teeth Jesus christ
Joseph Reyes
but that's not really true user, you're acting as if Japan is obfuscating it's homogeneity via statistics
It's over 95% ethnic Japanese anyway you slice the cake
Gavin Thompson
You could say the same for American education is also super shit, we just learn wether that country was evil or good and if we won. Then they're like white people were bad then now were ok, ok class dismissed.
Jaxson Hill
>you're acting as if Japan is obfuscating it's homogeneity via statistics It is, officially anyone born in Japan is Japanese regardless of skin color or any other stupid meme shit, it's a civic nationalists wet dream
Michael Wilson
You're full of shit, Japan is under strict jus sanguinis, and doesn't even accept dual citizenship. You can be born in the middle of the imperial palace, if one of your parent isn't Japanese, you're not Japanese. And if one of your parent is Japanese but the other isn't, you have to choose between the two nationality at adulthood.
Gavin Ward
Why are Americans so freaked out about yellow teeth? It's perfectly natural for people to have slightly yellow tint.
Adrian Butler
Slightly yellow, sure, but not cheese colored like hers. To get that, she has to be a smoker or barely take care of her teeth.
