Interesting points. Another example of how all the best cultural criticism is on the right these days.
My big caveat would be the 'Asians aren't creative' implication. We've seen a huge influx of Japanese and now Korean culture, at least in part because the West vacated those positions by being super-woke. Pretty much the only place to find a strong male protagonist in a series aimed at teenagers these days is anime or manga.
There are some interesting aspects of this. While the technical artistry of Japanese animation is far superior to the CGI of the modern-day west, Far Eastern entertainment is almost entirely lacking in humor. Creativity in the East is not the same as it is here.
Personally, I prefer media from the period when they were ascendant.

True, though I think it's kind of hard to judge as humor's one of those things that wouldn't translate well apart from slapstick.
