I'm...not sure western media can be blamed for a lot of these sentiments. Wrt black people, the western racism issues tend to be more about economic equality and less about standard of beauty. Whereas the darker skin=ugly trope seems to be widespread throughout east asia.
And I think the anti-Japanese sentiment is pretty much something that's historically been there, even before WWII exacerbated things.
