<The night before the semi-final round... Sensei team's hotel room>
<Onizuka stumbles in, cigarette in one hand, drink in the other to find Hideo dressing one of his wounds>
Onizuka: <slightly slurred> "Yo, Uchiyamada-sensei! Where's my favorite nurse?"
Hideo: <turns his head slightly> "Kyoko-san is getting a massage downstairs... and my name is Hideo, baka."
<Onizuka immediately sobers up, drops his cigarette, throws his drink, and rips off his shirt>
Onizuka: <flexing> "I, Great Masseuse Onizuka, shall go to her in her time of need!!" <immediately runs for the door>
Hideo: <shakes head> "She'll snap you in two if you so much as think about touching her, boy."
<looks over to see Onizuka has stopped in his tracks and has begun to twitch and foam at the mouth> "What's with you?"
<Hideo walks over and snatches the semi-final invitation from his hand and reads...> "Asia All-Stars? Hmm... it'll be nice fighting a proper lady for once."
<Onizuka snaps back up and raises his fist to the sky>
Onizuka: "I, Eikichi Onizuka, 22 years old, representing Holy Forest Academy, shall show my true spirit and win the heart of the lovely Chun L..." <Hideo cracks him on the back of the skull, temporarily knocking him out>
<Meanwhile, downstairs... Kyoko, dressed in only a towel, is having her back rubbed by a giant Nordic fellow. Suddenly, she notices Nako walk by with Shikuruu following shortly behind... immediately her brow furrows and she turns on her side>
Kyoko: <catty> "Damned Ainu and her filthy mutt."
"Only two things are infinite the universe and human stupidity and I'm not sure about the former."
"Your denial is beneath you and thanks to the use of hallucinogenic drugs I see through you."

Well, from what I understand, there has been many points in history of extreme tension between the Ainu and Japanese, with the last few centuries dotted with various failed rebellions against Japanese control. (it's notable for me that one of these rebellions took place in 1789, SS2...) Things happened, laws passed, and my understanding is that the Ainu are still experiencing great social and economic inequality. Understandable, since the Hokkaido former aborigines protection act (a series of statues that greatly affected basic human rights of Ainu) was only rescinded back in 97. As late as the mid-80s, the government was trying to deny their very existence...
I actually mentioned this to this dude Taku before deciding to post this, to make sure that I was on the right track. Yes, there's sort of a weird or ill feeling among the japanese, mainly Hokkaido, concerning this. He also mentions that it will eventually go away...very slowly, but eventually. While progress is being made from a cultural standpoint, politically, nothing's really moving forward. Some do consider the various media advances that the Ainu make as being annoying and frustrating. Others, especially in the older generation, actually do look down upon them, in what might remind some of not all that long ago here...which is why that line got my reply.
And I'm tired. And I'm supposed to update the website. Argh. Damn Christians... :) (www.insertcredit.com, top news item)

Yeah. I actually did a report on the Ainu one time. (Yes, I mentioned Nakoruru and Rimururu in the report too.) I remember that the Ainu tried to resist Japanese control. There were three major rebellions and all three of them failed.
After World War II, it was to some extent, common that there would be Japanese/Ainu marriages. Ever since then, full Ainu have been rare. If I recall, only 30,000 Ainu are left in the world. (This is not full Ainu I'm talking about here. This is the Ainu population total, regardless if the person is full or partial Ainu.) Most of them now live in Hokkaido and closeby areas like some parts of Russia.
