There is a perception amongst some Japanese that all black people are violent. This comes from the gang culture deptictions in American media that make it over to Japan. However, I'm not sure how widespread this is and imagine it is limited to the same people that think foreigners are the cause of all crime in Japan.

You might also encounter black face or sambo type statuetes. Obviously, Japan doesn't have the history with these types of things that America does so most Japanese see no problem with it.
