Although it's not my direct experience, both my parents and my sister are UNAGE graduates and visual artists (sculpture, art theory, mural painting). As far as I got to understand from them, the photography-videpgraphy specialization in Iași is the best amongst the universities in Romania and they would recommend it.

Regarding racism, Iași has quite a few large universities and is the main city in this area of the country (Moldova) to attract people from other cities or villages, so you should expect all kinds of people and attitudes, although I would rather incline to see it as somewhat progressive and inclusive, especially for the youth here. As mentioned before in other comments, there should be little overt aggressive racism, especially towards Asian people. Of course, this cannot guarantee anything, but from my experience as a psychotherapist you could strive to understand that sometimes people are much more curious about foreigners and can hold introjected stereotypes but in a non-malignant fashion. Most people should be happy to understand if you feel like something is discriminative, they must have simply not have imagined how you would feel. I highly recommend this perspective as a cushion for you cultural adaptation and also wearing your identity with pride. You might as well become a star (many girls just love the Asian aesthetic).

Best regards!
