ANSWER: Yes. It's fraud because Eugene Dubois claimed the bones were evidence found in excavation, when the bones are from different living creatures (from a gibbon monkey) another bone a human skull fragment. He was considered one of those Cowboy Explorers and not at all an academic, hoping to be known for finding "the missing link", like "Big Foot". He was not the first or last to plant bits of evidence for Archeological or Anthropological funding.
Yes, it's considered racism because even though Java Man has been proven to be fraud, and to never have existed in the first place, the Java Mana is still written in Wikipedia and Britannica as an actual discovery of importance, seemingly only to take eyes off the real Neanderthal studies in Western Europe.
