Japan values blonde hair and blue eyes as extremely beautiful, so being ugly and Black is a major disadvantage, while being ugly and White means that dudes can still do well; their ugliness is often offset by the fact that they are white and white is beautiful. As I've said: if you're Black and dark-skinned, you'd better be tall, into hip-hop 9chasing hip-hop girls), good-looking, and maybe rich while a White guy can be fat, short, balding, and poor; the image of his race benefits him. Life is not fair, and that's just the way it is.

The reality is that attractiveness is not measurable.
I will agree to an extent that conceptions of race does have some impact on some people at some level. (It's why academically, racism can be defined broadly as simply the belief in race)
But it's a bit more complex than "Japanese women don't like black guys"
Because the overall reality is that it just depends on the woman.
And there are MANY women in Japan that will date a black guy.
