The Samurai And The Ainu

I read something sometime back where a Japanese scientist was trying to prove the purity of the Japanese race vs the Ainu. What he found out is that the Ainu have not changed in a very, very, long time - while the Japanese are a mix of Ainu and Korean.

Needless to say, that didn't go over very well.
