Pretty much every major culture has racism in its past. Pretty much every culture still has some percentage of racist people.

I don't know what strange romantic picture of Japan you've managed to paint in your head, but the real-world country has well-documented and very current issues with pervasive racism and xenophobia.

All mature cultures have a noisy minority population of xenophobes. Japan isn't special in that regard and I never said it was.
