It is, though. Again, substitute Japanese with black or white. If you have problems with tropes, mechanics, or styles, talk about it in those terms. No one talks about vast open world filled with busy work and say "wow, this game is way too European." |
It is not, because "Japanese" is a recognised style of game. So much so it even has a genre, "JRPG". Is the term Japanese RPG racist? Is disliking Japanese RPG's racist? The Japanese have no issue using the term JRPG, thus they should have no issue with someone disliking a game because it's too "Japanese", as it's an accurate and accepted terminology used to describe certain games, and I've never seen anyone have an issue with this other than you, so no one actually from Japan themselves.
Substituting black or white is completely misguided as it is not a recognised and accepted term used to describe a certain style of game.
