I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that "less racist than France" means "not racist". And even if you buy that silly study as an objective measure of the deeply complex topic of racism, it still marks Japan as less racially tolerant than the Anglo countries those who perpetuate that "myth" likely hail from.
I love how the study doesn't agree with your preconceptions so it must be "silly". The study was done by 2 Swedish researchers at a university, not by some online poll. It's backed up by academic rigor. That's about as hard science as it gets.
