Saturday Night Live - Stereotypes of Asian Americans

I watched the Saturday Night Live Jeremy Lin Sketch and I had to admit it was funny. That said, I did notice that the SNL comedy writers included references to both Chinese and Japanese Stereotypes playing into the the "All Asians look alike negative stereotype". They included references to Japanese stereotypes with Jeremy Lin, a native of Palo Alto California, USA of Taiwanese descent. To the Saturday Night Live writers, here are those stereotypes.

• Kobe Beef - is a Japanese product not a Chinese one.
• Wax on Wax Off Mr. Miyagi - Pat Morita is an American Actor born in Isleton, California USA of Japanese descent. Mr. Miyagi in the Karate Kid Movies is portrayed as a character from Okinawa of Japanese descent.
• Domo Arigato Mr Roboto - The song Mr. Roboto written by Dennis De Young and performed by Styx contains the Japanese lyrics "dōmo arigatō misutā Robotto" which are not Chinese.
