You should really look at the true meaning of "race".

2. A group of people united or classified together on the basis of common history, nationality, or geographic distribution

American is a nationality (if referring to someone born in the USA) or a geographical distribution if referring to the continent. And so can be considered a race.

Xenophobia is considering that your own race is inherently superior to all others (or a fear of all other races), and so also racist by definition.

He's vietnamese-american but asians don't think of themselves as a part of a whole big group. Honestly, the japanese are more likely to not like him because he's part vietnamese. 

I doubt that Mr. Le was being honest about the whole thing. He said that his position was vital but they got rid of him. They wouldn't of hired him or "americans" if they were truly anti-american or racist towards him. There's already some inconsistencies in the story.

Oh wow.. lawsuits are becoming more ridiculous and out of hand

Xenophobia is the fear of something not of your kind. Humans views of Mutants in X Men for example.

Is more of an anti non Japanese issue.

That would atleast make for a righteous lawsuite. 

eh... i wouldnt be surprised if true...every race/country does does this shyet with the majority of the perpetrators being those from 1st world countries...

americans, europeans, singaporians, japanese, heck even the chinese are doing it too.

This is some of the least surprising news I've heard in a while. You can read stories of gaijin in Japan to read many similar stories. Isolated countries don't mix super well with other cultures.
