White skin is still looked at favorably in Japan. Japan isn't very open to any kind of outsiders, but white people still get treated much better than black people or darker skinned Asians. Western/European beauty standards also dominate Japanese culture. That said, the subject was Github's diversity program, and Github is in California. So Japan really doesn't have anything to do with it. Instead of worrying about immaterial discrimination against white men, perhaps worry instead about people who actually suffer from discriminatory practices. Just google "diversity in silicon valley" and you'll find plenty of articles (with charts) showing you exactly how widespread real discrimination still is.
