I don't know how you would qualify "most racist". The fact that is a much more homogenous country than most countries, and on an island, and cut off from the world during an extended part of its history means that many Japanese HAD lots of misconceptions about foriegners, but I think that is mostly limited to the oldest generation now. When I was there in March it was the first time I had ever walked through Osaka for a few days and never once felt like I was treated like anything other than a human being. I was not treated better or worse for being foreign.
If the amount of "No Foriegners" signs is all it takes to decide if a country is racist or not, considering I may have seen 2 during the three years I lived there, and both were at whore houses, should be a good sign for Japan.
