It makes you wonder how "bad" racism really is if you look at it with a detached, non judgemental point of view

Racism isn't a binary choice, it's a spectrum of degrees. Are the Japanese racist in that they have pre-conceived notions about some others based solely on their race? Yes. Are they torturing and killing them because of those notions? No.

The Left has bastardized the term "racism" and "racist" to the point where the mere mention of it implies the committing of abuse and violence against others (or, at least, the desire to do so). They then throw the term out in an attempt to shut down any discourse they don't agree with (thus, something like mentioning the massive disparity in committing homicides by race in the US is blasted as being "racist" by Leftists as a default stance).
