Many different cultures are obsessed with keeping the purity of the people (being Indian I am well aware of the pressure people have to marry the right person with the right ethnic background). Eugenics movement is also an example of this obsession with believing we are all fundamentally different. I think the professor's detailed explanation about where Japanese people originate from really helps dispel some of the myths that we are different and it helps us see the influence we all have on each other. This is a great theme of a unit or a lead in idea.
