Ajia keeping her borderline racist thoughts to herself doesn't really make her any less borderline racist. But I also think that her character was wronged for her whole character being "Ajia makes traditional Japanese dishes because she hates every other race". I think I blame this on YanDev giving the character trivia instead of their personality.
So, to be more fair, I gave her a history and personality. It might be a little confusing, but the gist is:
Ajia was adopted from America by a Japanese couple but didn't look Japanese and wasn't from Japan. (Of course, different colored hair and eyes are normal here, but I digress.) Due to this and likely some bullying via old classmates in schools, she convinced herself that the only way to be a daughter worthy of her lovely parents, she had to look as Japanese as possible and surround her life with as many Japanese things as possible. Due to this, she started despising anything outside of what she believed she had to be.
Seiyo's constant blabbing to Ajia doesn't help her irritation, although he only does this because he respects her. Additionally, Kashiko's victim-blaming only adds to her stress.
Shozo is really the only one closer to her that she can relax around.
