A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Japan is too far away and too aligned with the west to receive criticism for racism
I'm not sure being aligned with the west means much while people are extremely critical in and outside western countries about racism.
Most westerners don't care about racism beyond its utility to attack something they already don't like. Same with homophobia. How much "tactical homophobia" did we just see against Lindsey Graham by people who probably think they're allies because they don't like a lot of people who are hostile to LGBT+?
Have you been anywhere? Racism is just a full on aspect of most places I've been west or not. Like anyone Asian whatsoever is just mchina or anyone white whatsoever from anywhere is mzungu and both get treated differently than wafrika. Same to locals, if you're dealing with a hiring manager and you are in his tribe you'll likely get the job, if you're a different ethnicity then probably not.
