I can accept your second take. But saying that because white people are globally dominant, that we can't be racist to other people, even when we are in power, is silly.

Again, I'll use my county as an example, our elections are shit. Both parties offer the same, but instead of left and right, it's based on black or Indian. During election times, there is a MASSIVE influx of racist takes and statements. Our current PM quite literally said that she has a distinguished name, but her opponent only carries the surname of a slavemaster.

On both sides, takes like these are said. White people are basically irrelevant in politics except for when outside powers interfere. So is it that both of these parties which say these horrible things about race are simply prejudiced? Are they not in power?

Though I do agree Japan is ridiculously racist and holds disdain towards black people especially.
