It depends. I've made a few nip friends on VRChat and even hung out/did shit with them as well.
That said Gaijin Complex is a thing and it's more or less an inferiority complex some nips have against foreigners. Lot of it has to do with race and culture, as nips don't like uncertainty or being direct while most foreign cultures relish in chaos and are generally very direct.

They're people like anyone else. Some will be your friend and some you shouldn't even bother with. Having an understanding of the Japanese mindset definitely helps.
