Are we going to cancel François Truffaut now? The “Japanese girlfriend” is a key part of his film Domicile conjugal, and once a stereotype has made it into canonic art, then how offensive can reiterating it be? The exception of course is when the stereotype deals with a population that is neglected, persecuted and impoverished, but it is hard to say that about Japan.
