Keep in mind, this list isn\\\'t \\\"people who are stereotyped in real life.\\\" This is TV Tropes, it\\\'s about depictions in media demonstrating that these are AcceptableTargets. Because let\\\'s face it, EVERYONE is an acceptable target to SOMEONE. This list is about those that it\\\'s A-OK to make fun of in media, either because people don\\\'t like the group or they\\\'re too risky to insult. However, I do agree. Between the AsianAndNerdy, the fact that Asian stereotypes are still almost always played for laughs in mainstream media (such as AsianSpeekeeEngrish or Asian tourists) ChinaTakesOverTheWorld, jokes about penis size, and really, the fact that Asians are the go-to villainous superpower, Asians as a whole definitely counts.
Really though, the \\\"Japanese\\\" one should be renamed to \\\"East Asians In General.\\\" Making fun of Japan for WWII is more of a OnceAcceptableTargets thing, and they\\\'re mostly made fun of for being crazy and \\\"oh Japan\\\"-y. Most of the Japan entry is about Asia as a whole, anyway.
... and on a personal note, where in the \\\'\\\'hell\\\'\\\' do you live? Because either you live in some terrible, terrible place or you\\\'re using a lot of hyperbole.
