I would love to work in Japan on their websites. I would take a pay cut if I could become a Citizen. But they don't want Hispanic people over there; which I understand their needs to be insular and homogeneous.

Plenty of hispanics in Japan.
If you tried in earnest to go live in Japan and it didn't happen it's not because of racism. Yes there are some xenophobic tendencies, but they don't play into it. Money and "skills" on paper do.
If you don't tick the right boxes (e.g. graduated 4 years of university education, have demonstrable skills in a technical field, work experience, etc.) it's going to be difficult, of course. But that's the same anywhere.
If you do have those things it’s in fact easy to immigrate to Japan. For white collar jobs there is no “tried to hire a local first” test like most countries have.
You give me hope and a dream. Maybe when the kids are in college we can share a coffee in Osaka. See you there
