Huh. Since I'm white and based how I was treated when I lived in Japan... I guess there's no real racism against Japanese in the states after all then. Okay.

well, most complaints I've heard from asians who live(d) in the US and/or europe was that people were being presumptuous and just assumed stuff based on their appearance. less the kind of "you're [black] so you're basically a bushmonkey" stuff black folks have to put up with but rather "you're foreign" and all kinds of cliche ideas that are not overtly negative but rather "micro agressions". yes, blatant racism ("chink" comments and so on), too, but those mainly in school.
And guess what, that's pretty close to many peoples' (inlcuding my) experiences in japan. people just assuming you don't speak the language so you don't deserve the basic respect they they would afford any person who looked japanese. like when I bought a snack and dared to fiddle with the packaging while waiting for my friend and the employee at the store came running up waving her hands and crying "no eat!!" or having the counter closed in front of your face without a word because the person behind was scared they'd have to speak english. and the list goes on. try asking wives of japanese men who are not asian.
and the blatant racism is, as in the US and other places, mostly reserved for school environments.

this is not supposed to be a "awww poor white people" and black people and southeast asians get it far worse, but I kinda get where OP is coming from (though the whole phrasing is a bit trolley) and I wonder how you can have lived in japan and completely deny these things.
