My wife is Taiwanese and over time I've heard some anti-black racist stuff from some members of her family, almost all from older members of the family (people who are in their 70s and 80s). I'm not sure exactly where it comes from, though my instinct is to blame American media. I'm white myself, so this doesn't come up much with me. I mostly noticed it when some of her family visited us in the US.
I would expect much less of this from younger people, as Taiwan is probably the most socially progressive country in East Asia. That said, Taiwan is pretty homogeneous, so a foreigner of any color will be a rarity, and I suspect Africans are relatively uncommon among foreigners. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Taiwan#Foreign_residents https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Taiwan#Foreign... for an actual demographic breakdown.
