I think assuming racist motivations to dropping the bombs is a little short sighted.
The Germans thought they were the superior race or Master Race
The Japanese referred to themselves as an Empire as they felt they were the Superior people on the planet.
I think the choice for dropping it on them might have something to do with the fact that they attacked us on our soil first. Americans were pretty outraged by that.
Our outrage at Germany didn't hit home until they surrendered and we started to discover all the death camps and what Hitler had been doing.
