not that there is no racism in the world building of Warhammer, but it is not in the names that were used but on a level were GW made very clear differences between French, Englisch, Germans, Italians, Spanish, than put all Slavs into one faction, all ancient South Americans into one faction and all north Africans and middle east into one faction

this is not something unusual, were you go into details for the stuff you know and are more interested yourself, and the stuff you don't know or have no interst at all is all ruled into one thing with the most popular cliches

so Nippon in Warhammer being racist, yeah if Cathay, Ind and Japan would have all being 1 faction that is called Nippon it would be, but for now it is not

Well given that the game was clearly designed with The Empire at the centre of the world and everything else in terms of information radiates outwards from it, it kind of makes sense that we would know most about the areas directly around the centre of The Old World than the fringe areas. The fact that the areas that are furthest away from the Empire are the ones we know least about is pretty thematic IMO.
