Yeah, and they're allowed to retain Korean names. Japanese, Korean and the Taiwanese dialect of Chinese are all taught in schools across the Empire, as they're the three "main languages" -- Children are encouraged to learn all three, even Japanese children, since it opens up diplomatic careers and allows them to work in the other major parts of the empire.
Languages like Tagalog aren't supressed either, they're just not seen as "relevant to day-to-day action" in the Empire, so they're just... there.
Benjamin Franklin is well known in Korea for encouraging Japan and Korea to reconcile and form one nation. That's why when Akiko dies, the official name of the state will become the United Kingdom of East Asia (modeled after Britain's system, which George, the next Emperor is a very strong supporter of.)
I haven't decided how to treat race relations in Germany
In the Confederacy, though, Protestant Whites and Asians(because of the ATL respect America has for Japan) will be on top, with the whites having the most power and a vocal Asian minority in the Californias; below them will be the Mestizos(that is, very loosely defined, most Latinos), all Catholics, Jews, and Muslims, and the double-crossed Native Americans, who will be segregated against; and at the bottom will be blacks. Until 1889, when the CSA illegalizes slavery, adding blacks to the list of segregated-against peoples.
For the win. The Americans are treated well in Japan already, considering that there's a memorial to John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin not far from Edo. It's called the Liberty Shrine.
