    For interested ones: The Ainu are the descedants of the northern Jomon people. They arrived in Japan more than 30,000 years ago from a region somewhere in Central Asia or Siberia. They are descedants from an paleolithic population which can be traced back to southern Siberia.

Long story short, we both have more Jomon ancestry than the average Japanese person, who is predominantly of Yayoi descent. Ainu and Okinawans tend to be mostly of Jomon descent. Because I've seen comments mentioning how the person here kind of looks Hispanic... I often get mistaken as Hispanic too! People try to speak Spanish to me all the time and it takes a moment for them to notice I'm not Hispanic. When I tell them I'm "Japanese," they're usually surprised.

    Hello, I am ethnic Ainu from Sakhalin - Russia. We are the native population of northern Japan and southeastern Siberia. We are descedants of the Northeast Asian Okhotsk and a paleolithic population from Central Asia which migrated to Japan more than 30,000 years ago. The Northeast Asian Okhotsk people were related to other Northeast Asians and Native Americans, while the paleolithic Central Asians are not closely related to any modern group. The paleolithic Central Asians contributed the "European-like look" as they share some genes with Europeans and Middle Easterners, but not all Ainu had such "European-like look". The majority always looked Northeast Asian or a mix of the two looks. The Ainu language and culture originated largely from the Northeast Asian Okhotsk people, thus we have many similarities to other Northeast Asians, Siberians and Native Americans. It is a misconception that all Ainu are hairy or look European. We do not. The majority of historical Ainu and of modern Ainu is similar to other people around the Sea of Okhotsk. Europeans exaggarated the "European" look among Ainu. To sum up: We Ainu people came from the combination of the Northeast Asian Okhotsk culture and a paleolithic population which arrived from Central Asia. Thank you all for your interest in my people! :)

    Japanese tend to brag about the Jomon culture, but they look down on the two surviving ethnic groups that are more closely connected to the original Jomon people, the Ainu and the Okinawans. Modern day Yamato people do have some Jomon blood, but it’s been diluted to between 10-20%. If anything, the Japanese government should try to preserve the Jomon heritage by protecting the minority cultures and supporting revival of their traditions. (Prolly the Okinawans don’t need much help tho, because their culture is still quite alive and resilient.)

    I relate to this story I’m Anglo-Romany and a lot of the culture has been eroded by oppression and forced assimilation, barely any of us speak the full language by now and mainly use words as idiolect within English. Even as a teen I would be beaten, by groups sometimes, if they knew I was a gypsy as a sort of trophy to say they beat up a gypsy, I’m 26 now so it wasn’t long ago (this is more of a problem as teens). I was also given speech and language therapy by my school even though I was in the top reading group and had a strong vocabulary, this was to change my accent as it was elocution lessons but called something else. I am English as are my family but I was treated like some sort of criminal refugee for my heritage.

    The Ainu (a word meaning "human" in Ainu language) or Ainu are an ethnic group indigenous to Hokkaido and northern Honshu in northern Japan, as well as the Kuril Islands and the southern half of Sakhalin Island. in Russia. They are also known as ezo or ezo (蝦夷?) in old Japanese and utari (a word meaning "comrade" in the Ainu language), as they prefer to be called today.1 They currently number between 50,000 and 200,000 ethnic Ainu (in whole or in part) in both Russia and Japan. The assimilation of a large part of the Ainu into other ethnic groups makes it difficult to give an exact number of their descendants.They are said to have Caucasoid features, it being claimed in the past that some had exclusively sea or sky eyes and that their women were very hairy, causing them to mix quickly. It is possible that they descend from Russian tribes that migrated eastward from the Ural. The Ainu are of very ancient origin, and Caucasoid ancestors are attributed to them; however, today they are associated with the expansion of the first settlers of Asia and the Urals with the present peoples of Siberia and Russia, especially the Nivjas of Sakhalin and the Koryaks or Koryaks of Kamchatka, may have been Aryans from there, Ainos'Aryans. ' speaking Paleosiberian languages, although the Ainu have genetic traits of their own that demonstrate their ancient distinctiveness from other modern populations in the region.2 These findings are consistent with geological and archaeological evidence: the first settlers of Hokkaido arrived during the last ice age, more than 18,000 years ago3. They differ from Japan's main racial group, the Yamato, in that they have much more body hair, and their hair, although almost always black, is sometimes brown.They have REALLY in the past claimed to have blue eyes.They are said to have interbred with people from Russia.
