A decade ago I would tend to agree that Japanese/Asian cultures were more "acceptable" to reference or mimic for a Caucasian majority. Currently, though, with a Black President, and the rapid growth of the Hispanic culture, I do not see there being any real "model minority". Like most things in America, this issue has become even more polarized with one large segment becoming even more accepting and one large segment becoming even more unaccepting. The middle ground has vanished quite quickly.
That being said, focusing on a specific medium that has variations across the world doesn't really fit any discernible mode of discourse. Maybe the title should be changed to some more appropriate to what you really wish to discuss.
