Just listen to that Liberal interviewer. He just doesn't get it. In his mind the Ainu are an oppressed people, and what ever desires they have should be indulged. The irony is he can't see that that his UK-style affirmative action and the ethnic Nationalism he abhors are fundamentally no different. I wonder what his reaction might be different if he was interviewing an uyoku dantai ??? I see much similarities between the Ainu in Japan and the Natives in North America. Both seem to have trouble adapting and fitting in to a modern society. Is it merely a sociologic phenomena? Why should there be an intentional striving for equality in outcome between two groups of people divided up based on their ethnicity? Is there actually serious discrimination going on, or do genetic differences explain the statistical differences between the two groups? If these ethnic differences create such serious issue, issues that can transform themselves into wedge issues in politcs, is there a case for purposefully seeking an immigration policy that attempts to minimise ethnic diversity which could cause problems?
Combine the concepts of disenfranchised minorities and the quiverfull movement and there's your answer.
