Honestly, it's arrogant. I'm not a yakuza. They'd know that.
Sir, its not that you are a yakuza, but that that is the only standard they can set to keep real yakuza members out. Were they to let you, me, or any other tattooed person in they would have no social (or legal?) footing to keep the yakuza out anymore, unless they decided you need to clear a criminal background check first.

Its unfortunate, yes, but racist? No. Racist would be saying "No foreigners with tattoos are allowed. Only tattooed Japanese".
