Japan's doesn't discriminate on race.
It discriminates according to geneology (whether your parents or grandparents are or were Japanese).
While you might think that equates discrimination according to race you should remember that this is not that different a policy that the UK and Australia implement. (A person can get an Australian or British citizenship if one of their parents or grandparents were Australian or British respectively)
The only difference is that the Japanese haven't implemented anything more than that.
