AYRT.

Not directly, no.

I am sure that is not her intent at all.
Probably also far from the intent of the director or anyone involved in the video.

That being said, it does help enforce already existing stereotypes about non-Japanese (specifically western) foreigners in Japan.

Think of it along the same lines as Asians in North America only getting portrayed in roles that highlight their stereotypical "Asian-ness" as people in North America see it. It still is widespread in North America, though there are now more people who find problem with it. In Japan, most of the general public finds no problem with this sort of stereotyping.
