Mnnnyeh... honestly, it's kind of difficult to say. The word "racist" has a lot of connotations that the Japanese don't fulfill. They are prejudicial, but not without good reason - over 97% of Japan's population is ethnic Japanese. Accordingly, if you don't look like you're from there, you probably aren't and they will assume things about you accordingly (like the fact that you presumably don't know the language or have the greatest grasp on their culture).

Based on my own experiences over there, the idea that the Japanese are a group of bigoted racists is way overblown. You do deal with prejudice, but the overwhelming majority of it is non-malicious in nature.
