I'm also a bit disturbed that this seems like some kind of small hate crime in a sense because during our conversation she kept trying to imply that white people are overrated. She would say when she worked at a real estate company, white people would get preference over other foreigners, such as southeast Asians, even though the others had more money. She also compared me to someone her friend is dating and destroying her life over. I am finishing up two degrees, and she compares me to a drug dealer! The funny thing is that I'm not completely white; I'm a bit mixed. Growing up has taught me not to worry about race, so I really don't want to get into any argument about that. Good and bad people are everywhere, but this just kind of disturbs me.

I think if she were saying things like that alarms might have been going off in my head. Either she was a scam artist, or was using you to get revenge on "white people".
Either way, I don't know if you are going to get a lot of sympathy from people, as you placed yourself in that situation, and what self-respecting man lets his blind date pay for his meal?
It sounds like you were able to communicate with the restaurant, so I would offer to pay 5000 yen a month until you can pay off the remainder of the bill.
