Someone once told me that the Japanese word for "foriegner" also means "strange person" and even sometimes "monster." At any rate, let's not fall into the trap of thinking that Westerners represent all evil and everyone else virtue. There are certainly many countries a Black person could live in and be much worse off than in America, and many of those are in Africa.
At any rate, back to the supposed superiority of Asians. As in the West, the precepts of religion are often translated into seemingly contrary practice.
Read this piece about prejudice in Japan, for example:

If the caste system in India doesn't embody racial prejudice, what does? The light skinned higher castes are more closely related to the Aryan invaders than the dark-skinned indigenous people, which make up the untouchable caste. Improvements are being made there just as changes in attitudes are going on in the USA.
The point being that the various kinds of social prejudice are fairly universal, and in many ways are much more along the way to extinction in the West than elsewhere.
