I'm sure that in the South of the United States, racism is still rampant. But, historically, Japan is so not racist.
So, just get over yourself, go to Japan and consider yourself lucky.
If you've always been in situations based solely on your race from schools to work, can you blame a person asking about how they'd be treated knowing that they'll be a "minority" from the get go?

I too was curious of how blacks were treated in Japan since there aren't many there. It's an honest, curious, legitimate question.
