Abstract
To the Editor: Thank you for including Subverting Exclusion: Transpacific Encounters with Race, Caste, and Borders, 1885–1928 (2011) among the books reviewed in your March 2013 issue. Unfortunately, your reviewer's criticism of my book is centered on my purported failure to sustain an argument I do not make. Professor Paul Spickard states in his review that I argue that “a large portion of the Japanese immigrant population were burakumin or other hereditary outcastes.” (JAH, March 2013, p. 1269). In fact, I explain in the opening chapter that “the stigma associated with outcaste status even today has made it impossible to arrive at any concrete estimate of the number of buraku jūmin who emigrated to the United States and Canada during the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries” (Subverting Exclusion, p. 32). My purpose in this section is to explain why I do not attempt to quantify this migration, not to make any specific claim as to the number of buraku jūmin who emigrated.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
