White people (and anyone considered a "foreigner," really) do experience racism on an institutional level in Japan. It's incredibly difficult for them to find housing without a (Japanese) guarantor, they can be refused service at more "traditional" stores, restaurants, and other businesses, and overall they're barred from integrating into Japanese society. The Japanese Supreme Court only ruled in 2008 that denying citizenship to children born out of wedlock to foreign mothers and Japanese fathers was unconstitutional.

Of course, this is nothing compared to what native minorities and Asian "foreigners" face, but I'd still argue that it's definitely part of institutionalized racism.
