I haven't personally seen people call Japanese creators "white guys", but I've seen them call many Japanese characters in anime "white guys" (e.g. Shinji Ikari) so I wouldn't be surprised if that problem extended to our side of the fourth wall as well.

... Admittedly, it's been years since I've seen even that. I thought people had gotten better about it, but maybe I've gotten better at filtering my dash.

DA
Oh, people still do it, just a bit more subtle. They just cry for more POC representation in anime and manga that are actually set in Japan and feature Japanese characters.

This is just a strawman. Oh, those pesky Western POC wanting more representation, they're so unhinged they even demand it of things from nonwhite majority countries!

It's not a strawman if it actually happens, hun. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. And it's more often than not white people whining, not western POC. I've been in several fandoms where -mainly American- people were making a stink about all the characters being "white" in Japanese school settings just because they were being fucking dumb. You either were lucky and never encountered it or are wilfully ignorant. But a strawman this is not.
