What was the need for this sneering comment? This isn't phrenology in the racist and pseudoscientific sense at all. It's not even trying to correlate anthropometrics. The Ainu are actually a distinct people, and noticing the readily apparent distinctions between the Ainu people and the other inhabitants of the Japanese islands is no more racist than noting that African peoples tend to have darker skin than Europeans. Erasing distinctions rather than recording them does nothing more than making it easier to erase genocide from the historical record.
