It’s not. The West = Europe, US and their the allies.
Japan is in the West and last time I checked they were still Asians.

I mean, no shit, the racist's definition of almost anything sociological is going to be racist.
Racism is not the sole exception. Most Japanese people do not consider themselves western in most contexts. Including xenophiles.
Japan is not in the west. Japan is not a western country. They are not a western peoples. They don't speak a western language. They don't have western culture. They don't even use western script.
In what world is Japan "in the West"? Ask a japanese person whether they are in the west or are westerners. They'd laugh in your face.
The west is narrowly western european or western european descended majority nations. Broadly it's european majority nations.
If only there was someone to tell them that all whites are really the same, so they would have understood. Well, Hitler had some ideas of unity close to that (with idiotic things like excluding "those stupid eastern slavs"). Modern racists see nothing but the skin colour, they don't even bother measuring your skull. That's how bad things have gotten.
Modern racists operate pretty much the same way as 100+ years ago
I never said “white people bad” but that is what you seem to understand, I wonder where it came from?
Your comment doesn't even make much sense in the vacuum except maybe as a quick fact check, but then you can consider my reply as just an extension of your comment. There is always someone who doesn't know that the WWII was not really about white people vs. non-white people type of thing.
WW2 was started by white supremacist ideology - the Japanese just conveniently fit into that, even being called honorary Aryans at times.
So yea WW2 was white supremacists vs everyone else
Though you can say it was about racial superiority, it was of a "race" that didn't exist yet. From https://archive.org/details/TheOriginsOfTotalitarianism/ page 412:
> The famous "Right is what is good for the German people" was meant only for mass propaganda; Nazis were told that "Right is what is good for the movement," and these two interests did by no means always coincide. The Nazis did not think that the Germans were a master race, to whom the world belonged, but that they should be led by a master race, as should all other nations, and that this race was only on the point of being born. Not the Germans were the dawn of the master race, but the SS. The "Germanic world empire," as Himmler said, or the "Aryan" world empire, as Hitler would have put it, was in any event still centuries off.
And don't forget: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nero_Decree
> Moreover, according to some around him, Hitler came to view the German people as having failed him, unworthy of their great mission in history and thus deserving to die alongside his regime.
I think you could say for Hitler, it was only about Hitler. For his inner circle, it was about Hitler and them, and so on. Each layer used and deceived the outer layers.
