I agree.
It's just straight up racism which is ironic considering how they'll often accuse Japanese society of being racist. (Which is not what RealJames list claimed... but I've heard it being said by others.)
I have a theory regarding that too and it was kinda confirmed by an African American ryuugakesei friend I made while living in Japan.
What you'll get is a whole bunch of white people that are used to being in the majority and then all of a sudden they've become the minority and so to THEM Japan
seems racist. To my African American friend, Japanese society is no more racist than American society and according to his experience was a much more pleasurable to be black in at least.
