Yep, unlike India and its caste system, or the prejudice that still exists between the English and Ireland, Scotland, Australia, etc. Or English racism towards Pakistan and India. And let's not forget Middle Eastern racism towards every other race and ongoing modern slavery. And I'm sure Africans and Europeans are highly respected in Japan and China.
